We're kicking things off at #ACL2025 with a keynote from UW's Luke Zettlemoyer

And that's the end of the text mining track at #ISMBECCB2025. So much cool work going on in this area

Caralyn Reisle (@creisle.bsky.social) shows how language models can be used to verify claims in a big cancer knowledge base. A huge effort to create a fantastic benchmark set #ISMBECCB2025

Lynn Schriml ( @diseaseontology.bsky.social ) gives a great talk on the Disease Ontology's philosophy of building a sustainable resource so that others can be confident to build upon it. 20+ years of the DO! academic.oup.com/nar/article/...

Some beautiful and physically impossible predicted molecules from some AI models. Brilliant problems with AI from Charlotte Deane's keynote. The ring within a ring is particularly good! #ISMBECCB2025

Creating a reasonable baseline (without fancy ML) is so important! Sometimes our ML methods aren't actually that good. Great example from Charlotte Deane in her Day 4 keynote #ISMBECCB2025

Quick shout out for the Make Data Count challenge to improve data citation from @gigascience.bsky.social's Scott Edmunds. Looks cool and 💲prizes! #BOSC2025 #ISMBECCB2025 www.kaggle.com/competitions...

Guy ending his talk telling the #BOSC2025 audience if they value global data infrastructure sign their open letter globalbiodata.org/open-letter-... #ISMBECCB2025

Biomedical data resources are essential for research but they're underfunded. Great to hear about the Global Biodata Coalition's mission to safeguard them. Time to sign their open letter! #ISMBECCB2025 globalbiodata.org/open-letter-...

Dystopian discussions about dealing with censorship in ontologies with the NCI deprecating transgender terms in the NCIT. Damien Goutte-Gattat gave a necessary but scary BOSC/BOKR talk about managing ontologies across borders. evsexplore.semantics.cancer.gov/evsexplore/c... #ISMBECCB2025

Ontologists do so much more than add new terms and curate papers! So many things to do, especially refactoring! Great BOSC/BOKR keynote from @cmungall.bsky.social #ISMBECCB2025

Are AI agents having virtual lab meetings the future? Day 3 kicks off with a keynote from @jameszou.bsky.social. #ISMBECCB2025

Brilliant results from DNA language models including an influence score that can differentiate benign and pathogenic variants from ClinVar. Great MLCSB talk from Julian Gagneur (@gagneurlab.bsky.social) #ISMBECCB2025

Funding bioinformatics resources is getting even harder. Should we be charging industry for access? If we do, it needs to be seamless. Great keynote from Amos Bairoch to kick off Day 2 of #ISMBECCB2025
