Title : Winnowing the Wheat from the Chaff in Complex and Large Data

Abstract :

The need for mining massive and complex data has become paramount in areas like education, web mining, social network analysis, security, and a variety of scientific pursuits. However many traditional supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms break down when applied in big data scenarios: this is known as the "big data problem". Among other concerns, big data presents serious scalability difficulties for these algorithms.

In this talk I will discuss the big data problem and solutions in the context of complex data I have worked on in recent years, namely, social networks, text, and educational data. I will also present a new method for distributed machine learning which directly tackles key problems posing challenges to successful and scalable mining of big data. Our method is scalable, general-purpose with regard to the machine learning algorithm, and easily adaptable to a variety of heterogeneous grid or cloud computing scenarios.

SPECIAL SESSION

 Neural networks and pattern recognition in medicine

Since the very beginning, artificial intelligence has been influenced by medicine, and in the same time has impacted on it very strongly. For instance, in the automatic diagnosis, as a help for doctors’ decisions, or as a tool for improving patients’ health or for biomedical signal processing and brain modelling. Neural networks and neural or statistical pattern recognition are ever increasingly important methods in this field. Also, modeling and pattern recognition help in understanding the mechanisms of diseases, like cancer. At this aim, algorithms in data mining and big data are of utmost importance.

This special session aims to illustrate the state of the art and the perspectives of the most recent techniques, both neural, as deep learning, and not, with a special stress on biomedical image and signal processing, medical classification and diagnosis, and analysis of gene expression data. Papers in pattern recognition, especially as a support to medical diagnosis, are also welcome.

The themes of this special session are multidisciplinary in nature, and closely connected in their final aims to identify features from realistic dynamic of signal exchanges. Such dynamics characterize, formal and informal social signals,  communication modes, hearing and vision processes, and brain functionalities.  Of particular interest are analyses  of visual, written and audio information and corresponding computational efforts to automatically detect and interpret their semantic and pragmatic contents. Related applications of these interdisciplinary facets are ICT interfaces able to detect health and affective states of their users,  interpret  their psychological and behavioral patterns and support them through positively designed interventions to improve their quality of life.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Signals for detecting affective wellbeing and emotional states
• Detection of health and psychological states from multimodal signals
• Social networks for information spread and share
• Empathic ICT interfaces
• Computational Architectures for Affective Systems
• Supervised and Unsupervised Learning Algorithms in Affective Systems
• Human and/or machine encoding and decoding of behavioral patterns
• Human daily cognitive activities
• More
