GT LEGO

LEGO is a working group affiliated with the CNRS BIMMM 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.

  • Registration: November 15th 2024 (limited to 144 participants)
  • Conference: December 9th 2024

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.

Sponsors

The meeting is sponsored by the GDR BIMMM (http://www.gdr-bim.cnrs.fr) and Sorbonne Center for Artificial Intelligence (https://scai.sorbonne-universite.fr).
