High Dimensional Big Data Engineering

Friday, 22 January 2016, 9.00am to Monday, 22 January 2018, 5.00pm
Location: FW11, Computer Laboratory, Cambridge

Thanks to advances in monitoring devices and modelling techniques, modern big data grows in both its quantity and dimensionality. Many popular applications involve processing and understanding the information contained in high-dimensional datasets, for example, document classification, pattern recognition, intrusion detection, recommender systems, etc. The intelligence of these applications heavily relies on the efficacy of processing and extracting meaningful patterns out of the datasets and the accuracy of searching. In reality, the balance between efficiency and accuracy plays a key role in building scalable services.

The workshop, held at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge on Friday 22 January 2016, brought together the experts in computer science, statistics and mathematics in the leading institutes within and beyond the UK. It focused on the state-of-the-art engineering and algorithmic solutions adopted in realistic and large-scale applications in the context of high-dimensional big data.
