This
course covers some basic problems in bioinformatics and related natural
language processing (NLP) techniques, e.g. bio/medical text mining,
information extraction, clustering/classification, bio information
retrieval, bio ontology processing and some of the system design issues.
The course conisists of two parts: the first part will review some basic
knowledge in bioinformatics field and NLP techniques, and the second part
will study more indepth on-going research problems in bioNLP community.

No
particular requirements. No background knowledge for NLP is assumed, so
all bioinformatics students are welcome.
