The goal of the conference is twofold. First, we aim at highlighting recent developments at the interface between machine learning, mathematical modelling, and biological data. More specifically, protein and nucleic acid sequence and structure data. Second, we aim at fostering exchanges and new collaborations toward a better vision of future challenges, and their practical implications for society. In particular, for medicine and protein engineering. These challenges include the reconstruction of interactomes at large scale at the residue resolution with the ability to sense the impact of sequence variations such as point mutations, and the accurate prediction of protein conformational states and continuous heterogeneity. The combination of machine learning and formal methods holds great promise in addressing these challenges, and we welcome contributions pushing the field forward in these directions.  
 

L’objectif de la conférence est double. Tout d’abord, nous visons à mettre en évidence les développements récents à l’interface entre l’apprentissage automatique, la modélisation mathématique et les données biologiques. Plus précisément, les données de séquence et de structure des protéines. Deuxièmement, nous visons à favoriser les échanges et les nouvelles collaborations vers une meilleure vision des défis futurs et leurs implications
pratiques pour la société. En particulier, pour la médecine et l’ingénierie des protéines. Ces défis incluent la reconstruction d’interactomes à grande échelle avec une résolution au niveau des résidus, et avec la capacité de détecter l’impact des variations de séquence telles que les mutations ponctuelles, et la prédiction précise des états conformationnels des protéines et de leur hétérogénéité. La combinaison de l’apprentissage automatique et des méthodes formelles est très prometteuse pour relever ces défis, et nous encouragerons les contributions faisant avancer le domaine dans ces directions.
