2nd Workshop on Features & Structures (FEAST 2015)
       https://sites.google.com/site/feast2015/

             at ICML 2015, Lille, France
                     July 10, 2015
***************************************************

The second workshop on Features and Structures (FEAST), colocated with  
ICML, aims to provide an open, low ­threshold forum for discussing  
data consisting of an underlying structure associated with descriptive  
attributes, such as in natural language processing, medical imaging,  
computer vision, bioinformatics, chemoinformatics, social network  
analysis and others. The goal of FEAST is to bring together  
researchers from diverse communities, with a shared interest in  
understanding structured data.
