IEEE-SMC 2013 - UK-Ireland IEEE-SMC 2013 Strategic Workshop

Theme - Understanding the Cyber World: A Rendez-Vous for Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, and Cybernetics
Keynote lectures will be delivered on different topics central to the workshop theme of “Understanding the Cyber World: a Rendez-vous for Machine Learning, Pattern Recognition, and Cybernetics”: Towards a New Science of Big Data Analytics, based on the Geometry and the Topology of Complex, Hierarchic Systems; Big Data: From ‘Firehoses’ to ‘Deluges’ and ‘Avalanches’; Grid Analytics; Combining Compositional and Distributional Semantics; The Adversarial Relationship between Classifier and Patterns in the Cyber-World; Towards a Holistic Theory of Pattern Recognition? On the Virtues of Unifying versus Diversifying in Machine Learning; Generalization, Stability, Robustness, Sensitivity and Noise Control in Cyber Pattern Analysis. Ample time will be set aside for a panel discussion involving both the speakers and the audience in the pursuit to identify major challenges to future research problems in the related areas.
