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 parallel and distributed
computing, several frameworks such as OpenMP, OpenCL, 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
Multi-core architectures/frameworks (OpenMP)
Many-core (GPU) architectures/frameworks (OpenCL, OpenACC, CUDA, Intel TBB)
Distributed systems/frameworks (GraphLab, MPI, Hadoop, Spark, Storm, Mahout
etc.)
Journal publication
Selected papers from the workshop will be published in a Special Issue of
Future Generation Computer Systems, Elsevier's International Journal of
eScience. Special Issue papers will undergo additional review.
Awards
Best Paper Award: The program committee will nominate a paper for the Best
Paper award. In past years, the Best Paper award included a cash prize.
Stay tuned for this year!
Travel awards:Students with accepted papers have a chance to apply for a
travel award. Please find details on the IEEE IPDPS web page.
