Keynotes

Keynote 1: Data-driven approaches of image analysis for industrial and medical applications

by Prof. Masayuki Fukuzawa, Kyoto Institute of Technology, Japan.

Data-driven approach is a research strategy that explores promising predictor through detailed data-analysis without prior hypotheses, in contrast to classical hypothesis-driven strategy. Although it requires wide variety of data and large amounts of computational resources, it has the advantage of providing novel insights without the constraints of prior hypotheses. It is particularly favorable for complex and exploratory analysis of domain-specific images such as estimation of quality deterioration factors of industrial products (mechanical parts, semiconductor devices, etc.) as well as prognostic prediction in medical image diagnosis (CT, MRI, US, etc.). Recently, it has also been applied to large amounts of open data due to the drastic cost decrease in computational resources with the advances of information and communication technology. This talk aims to share our recent and ongoing studies related to such approaches. The concepts and experimental achievements are presented to demonstrate the potential of this approaches and their future prospects.

Keynote 2: Decoding Biological Language in Membrane Proteins: Combining Protein Language Model Embeddings with Multi-Window Scanning Deep Learning for Functional Identification

by Prof. Yu-Yen Ou, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, Yuan Ze University, Taiwan.

This presentation will explore the integration of protein language pre-training models with multi-window scanning deep learning techniques to decode and analyze the biological language embedded within membrane protein sequences. We will first utilize protein language models such as ProtTrans or ESM-2 to transform protein sequences into high-dimensional vector embeddings, capturing the intricate biological language within these sequences. Following this, we will employ multi-window convolutional neural networks (MCNN) to extract features across various scales, enabling the identification of membrane protein functions based on these language features. This innovative approach, combining language models with multi-scale analysis, not only enhances our understanding of membrane and transporter proteins but also offers new perspectives and potential applications in the field of bioinformatics.
