CALL FOR PAPERS
****************************************************************
The 4th International Workshop on
Parallel and Distributed Computing for
Large Scale Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics
****************************************************************
May 29, 2015
Hyderabad, India
In Conjunction with IPDPS 2015

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


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.)
