Dear all,

We are organizing a workshop Parlearning 2015 in conjunction with
IPDPS 2015, which is happening in Hyderabad this year. I am posting

Parlearning 2015
The 4th International Workshop on Parallel and Distributed Computing
for Large Scale Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics
May 25 or 29, 2015 (TBD)
Hyderabad, India
In Conjunction with IPDPS 2015

CALL FOR PAPERS

Scaling up machine-learning (ML), data mining (DM) and reasoning
algorithms from Artificial Intelligence (AI) for massive datasets is a
major technical challenge in the times of "Big Data". The past ten
years has seen the rise of multi-core and GPU based computing. In
distributed computing, several frameworks such as Mahout, GraphLab and
Spark continue to appear to facilitate scaling up ML/DM/AI algorithms
using higher levels of abstraction. We invite novel works that advance
the trio-fields of ML/DM/AI through development of scalable algorithms
or computing frameworks. Ideal submissions would be characterized as
scaling up X on Y, where potential choices for X and Y are provided
below.
Scaling up
recommender systems
gradient descent algorithms
deep learning
sampling/sketching techniques
clustering (agglomerative techniques, graph clustering, clustering
heterogeneous data)
classification (SVM and other classifiers)
SVD
probabilistic inference (bayesian networks)
logical reasoning
graph algorithms and graph mining
On
Parallel architectures/frameworks (OpenMP, OpenCL, Intel TBB)
Distributed systems/frameworks (GraphLab, Hadoop, MPI, Spark etc.)
