****************************************************************


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.)

INTERNATIONAL WINTER SCHOOL ON BIG DATA

BigDat 2015

Tarragona, Spain

January 26-30, 2015

Organized by
Rovira i Virgili University

http://grammars.grlmc.com/bigdat2015/

*****************************************************

--- 7th registration deadline: December 23, 2014 ---

*****************************************************

AIM:

BigDat 2015 is a research training event for graduates and postgraduates in
the first steps of their academic career. It aims at updating them about the
most recent developments in the fast developing area of big data, which
covers a large spectrum of current exciting research, development and
innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific
discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself.
Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views
with the audience.

All big data subareas will be displayed, namely: foundations,
infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and
applications. Main challenges of analytics, management and storage of big
data will be identified through 4 keynote lectures, 22 six-hour courses, and
1 round table, which will tackle the most lively and promising topics. The
organizers believe outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most
motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event.

ADDRESSED TO:

Graduate and postgraduates from around the world. There are no formal
pre-requisites in terms of academic degrees. However, since there will be
differences in the course levels, specific knowledge background may be
required for some of them.

BigDat 2015 is also appropriate for more senior people who want to keep
themselves updated on recent developments and future trends. They will
surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers,
industry leaders and innovators.

REGIME:

In addition to keynotes, 3 courses will run in parallel during the whole
event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they will be
willing to attend as well as to move from one to another.

*CALL FOR PAPERS*



*6th International Workshop on*

*Biological **Knowledge Discovery and Data Mining* *(BIOKDD'15)*

Held in parallel with

*26th International Conference on Database and *

*Expert Systems Applications **(**DEXA?15**)*

www.dexa.org


Valencia, Spain September 1-4, 2015





With the development of Molecular Biology during the last decades, we are
witnessing an exponential growth of both the volume and the complexity of
biological data. For example, the* Human Genome Project* provided the
sequence of the 3 billion DNA bases that constitute the human genome. And,
consequently, we are provided too with the sequences of about 100,000
proteins. Therefore, we are entering the post-genomic era: after having
focused so many efforts on the accumulation of data, we have now to focus
as much effort, and even more, on the analysis of these data. Analyzing
this huge volume of data is a challenging task because, not only, of its
complexity and its multiple and numerous correlated factors, but also,
because of the continuous evolution of our understanding of the biological
mechanisms. Classical approaches of biological data analysis are no longer
efficient and produce only a very limited amount of information, compared
to the numerous and complex biological mechanisms under study. From here
comes the necessity to use computer tools and develop new *in silico* high
performance approaches to support us in the analysis of biological data
and, hence, to help us in our understanding of the correlations that exist
between, on one hand, structures and functional patterns of biological
sequences and, on the other hand, genetic and biochemical mechanisms.
*Knowledge
Discovery and Data Mining* (KDD) are a response to these new trends.

Topics of BIOKDD workshop include, but not limited to:

*Data Preprocessing: *Biological Data Storage*, *Representation and Management
(data warehouses, databases, sequences, trees, graphs, biological networks
and pathways, ?), Biological Data *Cleaning* (errors removal, redundant
data removal, completion of missing data, ?), *Feature* Extraction
(motifs, subgraphs,
?), *Feature* Selection (filter approaches, wrapper approaches, hybrid
approaches, embedded approaches, ?)


*Data Mining: *Biological Data Regression (regression of biological
sequences?), Biological data clustering/biclustering (microarray data
biclustering, clustering/biclustering of biological sequences, ?),
Biological Data Classification (classification of biological
sequences?), Association
Rules Learning from Biological Data, Text mining and Application to
Biological Sequences, Web mining and Application to Biological Data,
Parallel, Cloud and Grid Computing for Biological Data Mining

*Data Postprocessing:* Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Filtering,
Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Representation and Visualization,
Biological Nuggets of Knowledge Evaluation (calculation of the
classification error rate, evaluation of the association rules *via*
numerical indicators, e.g. *measurements of interest*, ? ), Biological
Nuggets of Knowledge Integration



*PAPER SUBMISSION DETAILS: *

Authors are invited to submit electronically original contributions in
English. Submitted papers should not exceed 5 pages in IEEE format
http://www.computer.org/portal/web/cscps/formatting. All accepted papers
will be published in the proceedings of DEXA?15 Workshops with IEEE CSP*. *One
