The first "Challenges" conference, organized to celebrate Prof. David Shugar 100th anniversary, was attended by over 100 participants, including over 40 outstanding scientist of extremely high international reputation that had originated from "Shugar school". Eight previous IPK conferences were featured in 8 special issues of journals generating highly impactful series of 211 academic papers with over 12377 citations (source CALPLUS). Multiple articles from the conference proceedings achieved citation classic status with most cited paper having over 800 citations (Google Schoolar). The high, documented impact of this meeting series to the kinase scientific community complements, and in many aspects exceeds that of other high impact academic meetings like FASEB Series and commercially oriented kinase meetings. The scientific and social interactions at the past meetings facilitated many new research directions and collaborations.

In this course, we will introduce basic techniques from the fields of pattern recognition and machine learning to solve bioinformatics problems in a mixture of theory and lab sessions. After having followed this course, the student has a good understanding of basic pattern recognition techniques and is able to recognize what method is most applicable to data analysis problems (s)he encounters in bioinformatics applications. Topics include parametric and non-parametric classifiers, feature selection, dimensionality reduction, clustering, hidden Markov models, neural networks, and support vector machines. The course is aimed at PhD students with a background in bioinformatics, computer science or a related field, and life sciences. Participants from the private sector are also welcome. A working knowledge of basic statistics and linear algebra is assumed. Preparation material on statistics and linear algebra will be distributed before the course, to be studied by students missing the required background. This course is part of the Education Programme of BioSB, the Netherlands Bioinformatics and Systems Biology Research School, which offers training and education for in bioinformatics and systems biology.
