IPBD 2014 - Symposia on Information Processing for Big Data

The emergence of new high-volume data acquisition technologies has created unprecedented amounts of scientific and social data that calls for developing specialized data acquisition and analysis, data mining and learning tools. Petabytes of data from high-throughput sequencers, recommender systems, complex imaging devices, astronomical observatories, and systems such as the Large Hadron Collider, all require sophisticated solutions for information capture, compression, dimensionality-reduction, and compressive computing. The goals of this symposium are twofold: to identify the unique challenges posed by static and dynamic Big Data formats arising in practical applications and to provide an interdisciplinary platform for the exchange of ideas among statisticians, engineers, and experts in signal processing, machine learning and communication theory. The symposium is structured around three focused tracks:
Track 1: Real-time data capture and compression methods
Gigapixel imaging and hyper-spectral imaging, Synthetic Aperture Radar
Time stretch imaging, spectroscopy and real-time data compression
Image compression, Anamorphic data compression, digital pathology and telemedicine
Track 2: Theory and algorithms for dynamic sparse and/or low rank recovery.
Dynamic Compressed Sensing, Sparse Recovery
Dynamic Robust PCA, Dynamic Matrix Completion
Applications to dynamic medical imaging, video analysis, cognitive radios, machine learning
Track 3: Subspace Methods for High-Dimensional Data.
Subspace and Covariance estimation, possibly with missing and corrupted data
Unions-of-subspaces and non-linear manifold models
Machine learning with subspace methods
