Those initiatives provide an unprecedented opportunity for data miner and machine learner to study knowledge discovery problems associated with drug design. In this tutorial, the presenter will review the knowledge discovery and management needs in the drug discovery process. Latest methodology development, primarily those from data mining, machine learning, and statistical learning will be discussed.
