It was a very useful conference, where it was possible to communicate with people not only in their scientific field, but also to learn about achievements outside of it. Also, this conference allows you to communicate with participants informally, make friends and just have a good time while staying in a scientific environment.

It's not the first time I visit Information Technologies and Systems. Bioinformatics conference, and each time I get a lot of new and interesting things out of it. As a data scientist I found it very important and interesting to listen to the reports of engineers and experimentalists as well as to personally communicate with other scientists from our field. I think this is a very interesting and important conference.

I have visited the school to listen to my HSE University classmates and to see how actively and where deep learning is being used. In general, the presentations were more focused on the biological rather than the computational part, but at the same time during the whole school I have not had an uninteresting interlocutor, and in terms of communication everything turned out great. It seems to me that the format is perfect for those who have already taken up their first biological problem, and therefore cannot get lost in the variety of topics.
