WORKSHOP ON BIG DATA & DEEP LEARNING IN HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING


The number of very large data repositories (big data) is increasing in a rapid 
pace.
Analysis of such repositories using the "traditional" sequential 
implementations of ML
and emerging techniques, like deep learning, that model high-level abstractions 
in data
by using multiple processing layers, requires expensive computational resources 
and long
running times. Parallel or distributed computing are possible approaches that 
can make
analysis of very large repositories and exploration of high-level 
representations
feasible. Taking advantage of a parallel or a distributed execution of a 
ML/statistical
system may: i) increase its speed; ii) learn hidden representations; iii) 
search a larger
space and reach a better solution or; iv) increase the range of applications 
where it can
be used (because it can process more data, for example).  Parallel and 
distributed
computing is therefore of high importance to extract knowledge from massive 
amounts of
data and learn hidden representations.

The workshop will be concerned with the exchange of experience among academics, 
researchers
and the industry whose work in big data and deep learning require high 
performance
computing to achieve goals. Participants will present recently developed 
algorithms/systems,
on going work and applications taking advantage of such parallel or distributed 
environments.



LIST OF TOPICS


All novel data-intensive computing techniques, data storage and integration 
schemes, and
algorithms for cutting-edge high performance computing architectures which 
targets Big Data
and Deep Learning are of interest to the workshop. Examples of topics include 
but not
limited to:
- parallel algorithms for data-intensive applications;
- scalable data and text mining and information retrieval;
- using Hadoop, MapReduce, Spark, Storm, Streaming to analyze Big Data;

- deep-learning with massive-scale datasets;
- querying and visualization of large network datasets;
- processing large-scale datasets on clusters of multicore and manycore 
processors, and accelerators;
- heterogeneous computing for Big Data architectures;
- Big Data in the Cloud;
- processing and analyzing high-resolution images using high-performance 
computing;
- using hybrid infrastructures for Big Data analysis.
- New algorithms for parallel/distributed execution of ML systems;
- applications of big data and deep learning to real-life problems.
