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.)

Call for Sessions within the Stream

===== Optimization in PUBLIC TRANSPORT =====

at the 28th EURO Conference
July 3-6, 2016 in Poznan, Poland

http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/

Following the success of the Public Transport stream at the previous EURO conferences,
EURO 2016 will again offer a stream "Optimization in Public Transport" organized by
Leo Kroon and Anita Schöbel.

We are now looking for session organizers and for papers fitting in this stream!

Are you interested to organize a session of 4 talks on within this stream?
This task involves choosing the specific topic, contacting speakers, and handling their
submissions in the online system of the conference, to which you will get access then.
Usually, but not necessarily, the session organizer is also session speaker and/or chair.
If you are interested, please let us know.

In case you want to present a paper within the stream, but do not want to organize
a full session, please let us know as well. We are glad to send you a session code
such that you may submit your paper in an invited session.

We are looking forward to a successful Public Transportation stream at EURO 2016
and to meeting you in Poznan!

Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8; format=flowed

Release of KaMIS v1.0
-----------------------------------

We are pleased to announce the release of our framework KaMIS (Karlsruhe
Maximum Independent Sets). So far our framework contains an advanced
evolutionary algorithm based on graph partitioning (using the KaHIP
partitioning framework) and incorporates kernelization techniques to
compute large independent sets in huge sparse networks. Our algorithm
uses reduction techniques and recursively chooses vertices that are
likely to be in a large independent set, to then further kernelize the
graph. This opens up the reduction space -- which not only speeds up the
computation of large independent sets drastically, but also enables us
to compute high-quality independent sets on massive instances.

The software is released under the GPL 2.0 License.

We are glad for any comments and error reports (or even bug fixes) that
you send us.

PAPER SUBMISSION DEADLINE: March 1st, 2016.
PAPER SUBMISSION IS OPEN!

The 29th Conference of the European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization will be jointly organized by the Institute of Computer Science and Control of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, and the Eötvös Loránd University in Budapest, Hungary on May 26 - 28, 2016. ECCO (European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization) is a working group of EURO (Association of European Operational Research Societies) that provides an excellent opportunity to discuss recent and important issues in Combinatorial Optimization and its applications.

The ECCO annual meetings aim to bring together researchers in the field of Combinatorial Optimization to present their work, share experiences, and discuss recent advances in theory and applications. The primary objectives are:
*exchanging results and experiences in solving real-world combinatorial optimization problems
*reporting on development and implementation of appropriate models and efficient solution methods for combinatorial optimization problems
*establishing networking contacts between individuals and research groups working on related topics
*promoting the work on combinatorial optimization (theory and applications) to the broader scientific community
*identifying challenging research problems for the field, as well as promising research outlets (both in theory and applications)
*promoting interactions with researchers in other related fields

We seek submissions in all areas of combinatorial optimization from theory through applications.

The submission is limited to a half to one page abstract.
