GT LEGO

LEGO is a working group affiliated with the CNRS BIM GDR and dedicated to machine learning for genomics.

Like many scientific fields, genomics has benefited from the rise of machine learning over the past decade. The French research community in machine learning for genomics is active but scattered throughout the country within teams traditionally skilled in other methodological areas for genomics, such as statistics, algorithms, or bioinformatics.

The purpose of the LEGO working group is to facilitate exchanges within this community, promote collaborations, and enable the monitoring of progress made by participating teams.

We had our first meeting on May 31st 2023 at Sorbonne Université. This second meeting will take place in the context of the GDR BIM days, that take place every other year.

Call for abstracts

We welcome abstracts of up to 300 words, in French or English, on recently published or ongoing research related to machine learning for genomics. Submission platform to be open soon.

The working group organizers will select a subset of the submitted abstracts for oral presentations (in English), and others for poster presentations.

The deadline is set to October 20th, 2023. 

Logistical aspects

The LEGO meeting will take place on Thursday November 23rd, at the Cité Scientfique of Villeneuve d’Ascq (on the campus of université de Lille).

A lunch will be offered to all participants.

The event is free, but registration is mandatory before Novembre 8th 2023 for logistical reasons, through the website of the BIM days: https://www.gdr-bim.cnrs.fr/journees-du-gdr-bim-2023/ that take place on November 21-24.

Code of conduct

(freely adapted from NeurIPS and ICML)

The events organized by the LEGO workgroup aim at gathering the French
community in machine learning for genomics in order to foster an
exchange of ideas and a respectful scientific debate.

Our objective is that anyone interested by these events can attend
them comfortably, and in particular without experiencing any form of
harassement or discrimination (racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic
or ableist).

Any witness or victim of such incidents or any other non-professional
behavior can get in touch with the organizers. All complaints will be
handled as confidentially as possible.

Sponsor

The meeting is sponsored by the GDR BIM (http://www.gdr-bim.cnrs.fr)
