- 08.31.2009: Welcome to CS 795 Biological Data Mining Class. Please bookmark this space for future announcements related to the class. This is a heavily research oriented class requiring you to read from 1-5 papers a week. I have put some of the reading material in the Readings Section and the syllabus is online as well. A more accurate roadmap for the class will emerge within the next two weeks based on how many of you decide to stay. A quick note about the class location (School of Arts Building, L008). Its a new building on campus, so here is a map with my office location and class location marked.
