Do you want to learn how to develop models to predict protein function? Do you want analyse and exploit the growing volume of biological data? Do you want to develop basic skills in novel machine learning approaches and big data technologies?

This workshop explores how to conduct functional annotation of proteins through machine learning (ML) approaches. Participants will gain an insight into existing public protein data resources; and how novel approaches can be used to analyse and explore these data to gain new understanding of protein function. The workshop will introduce Apache Spark and Apache Zeppelin; technologies for fast data processing and integrating analytics respectively.
