Big Data: A Soft Computing Perspective
Date: December 14, 2013
Place: ISI, Kolkata
The main challenges in handling Big Data lie not only in the four V's, namely, Volume, Variety, Velocity and Veracity, but also its Variability in content and structure which calls for new approaches for interpretation and understanding of the data. Big Data demands a revolutionary change in research methodology and in tools to be employed. Traditional Computational Intelligence techniques need a complete re-haul to handle these challenges. Soft Computing techniques can play a significantly important role in this due to their inherent capabilities of dealing with imprecision and uncertainty. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners who are working on applications of soft computing principles to handle big data challenges. The aim is to share the recent advances in research and also discuss the challenges and opportunities in the application of Soft Computing techniques to the emerging field of Big Data.
