CALL FOR PAPERS
Special Session on Massive Data Computing
The 19th International Conference on Neural Information
Processing (ICONIP2012)
Doha, Qatar, November 12-15, 2012
Aims and Scope
With the rapid development of the Internet, especially Web 2.0 applications, information is disseminated quickly in various formats, including wikis, blogs, emails, online videos, digital photos, instant messages (IM), tweets, etc. Such data on users and their every activity are becoming increasingly available. They provide the possibility of analyzing the data to extract, aggregate, and distill knowledge from the massive data sets. To this end, novel techniques for storing, modeling and analyzing massive, high-dimensional, nonlinearly-structured, and heterogeneous data sets become crucial. The objective of this special session is to provide professionals, researchers, and technologists with a single forum where they can discuss and share the state-of-the-art of massive data analytics technologies and applications, present their ideas and contributions, and set future directions in emerging innovative technologies for massive data computing.
Topics of Interest
Topics of interest include, but not limited to, the following aspects:
* General technologies in massive data computing
- Large-scale learning techniques for clustering, classification, link analysis, outlier detections, collaborative filtering, etc.
- Theory and algorithms of large-scale matrix approximation, including matrix factorization, nonnegative matrix factorization, tensor factorization, etc.
- Randomized algorithms in linear algebra for big data applications
- Theory and algorithms in parallel and distributed environments
- Theory and algorithms of online learning
* Domain-specific applications in massive data computing
- Massive data understanding and processing in stream data including text, videos, images, etc.
