The purpose of this session is for me to meet with the students and postdocs, to exchange research ideas. I am especially interested in interacting with "semi-mature" grad students, who have their identified general research directions, but not the details, and are looking for high-level advice and suggestions. Relevant topics include machine learning -- both theory and practice (ie, "consumers" of machine learning) --- bio-informatics and medical-informatics. See also http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~rgreiner/index1.php?section=research for more information about my general interests.
