Title: Pattern Discovery in Genomics Context

Abstract: Solving modern biomedical problems, especially, those involving genome data, requires advanced computational and analytical methods. The huge quantities of data and escalating demands of modern biomedical research increasingly require the sophistication and power of computational techniques for their pattern discovery. Key techniques include relational data management, pattern recognition, data mining, modelling and visualization of biomedical data. In this talk, I will demonstrate recent methodologies and data structures for gathering high-quality approximations and modelling of genomic information, and will use these innovations as the basis for developing methods to cluster and visualize biomedical data in pattern discovery.
