Biological data are collected from a variety of sources, including humans, animals, and viruses. Research on these data has emerged in many fields, such as genetics, proteomics, and healthcare applications, to name a few. Presently, thanks to the development of computer technology, extracting useful data from raw biological data and deciphering intricate biological data have become more feasible through the application of machine learning techniques.
The purpose of this Special Issue is to publish recent developments in machine learning applications for biological data. We invite researchers to submit their research articles and reviews to this Special Issue. Example topics include (but are not limited to) the following, which relate machine learning applications to biological data:
- Use of machine learning algorithms for investigating biological systems;
- New machine learning algorithms;
- Genetics/genomics;
- Proteomics;
- Medical image analysis and diagnosis;
- Drug discovery/development;
- Healthcare applications.
Keywords: machine learning; artificial intelligence; biological data; genetics; genomics; proteomics; bioimage; drug discovery

New AI4Media events: “EU Vision for Media Policy in the Era of AI” & “Meet the Future of AI: Generative AI and Democracy” – 19 June 2024, Brussels
June 11th, 2024 
Daniela Lopez de Luise
Morning event: “EU Vision for Media Policy in the Era of AI”
Time: 9:00 to 14:30 (CEST)
This event, organised by the AI4Media project, will focus on EU media policy in the era of AI, and its impact on the media sector and society. The event will critically assess the relevant elements of the EU legal framework that address AI applications in the media sector, such as the Digital Services Act, the European Media Freedom Act, and the AI Act. It is an essential platform for media practitioners, researchers, regulators, and policymakers to discuss how to shape media policy for a better future of AI in media.

Afternoon Event: “Meet the Future of AI: Generative AI and Democracy”
Time: 14:20 to 19:00 (CEST)
The discussion in the afternoon shifts to Generative AI and its implications for democratic processes. Co-organised by AI4Media and Horizon Europe projects TITAN, veraAI, AI4TRUST, AI4Debunk and AI-CODE, this event will focus on the challenges and opportunities posed by AI in countering online disinformation during the latest elections and other disinformation campaigns. The event is a must for the media industry, including journalists and fact-checkers, but also for policymakers, political scientists, legal/ethics experts, AI researchers and anyone interested in the intersection of AI, democracy, and media.
