WelcomeFeature or variable selection is an important topic in Bioinformatics, Systems Biology, and related fields. Important advantages of feature selection in these fields include the ability to create better and more compact models, as well as gaining a better insight into the processes described by the data. This workshop focuses on recent challenges for feature selection in Bioinformatics, such as the design of feature selection algorithms that scale well to high-dimensional spaces, can deal with small sample sizes, design robust feature sets and are able to support interactions or dependencies between variables. |
