Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. Most big data subareas will be displayed, namely foundations, infrastructure, management, search and mining, security and privacy, and applications (to biological and health sciences, to business, finance and transportation, to online social networks, etc.). Major challenges of analytics, management and storage of big data will be identified through 2 keynote lectures and 24 four-hour and a half courses, which will tackle the most active and promising topics. The organizers are convinced that outstanding speakers will attract the brightest and most motivated students. Interaction will be a main component of the event. An open session will give participants the opportunity to present their own work in progress in 5 minutes. Moreover, there will be two special sessions with industrial and recruitment profiles. ADDRESSED TO: Master's students, PhD students, postdocs, and industry practitioners will be typical profiles of participants. However, there are no formal pre-requisites for attendance in terms of academic degrees. Since there will be a variety of levels, specific knowledge background may be assumed for some of the courses. Overall, BigDat 2020 is addressed to students, researchers and practitioners who want to keep themselves updated about recent developments and future trends. All will surely find it fruitful to listen and discuss with major researchers, industry leaders and innovators. STRUCTURE: 3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event. Participants will be able to freely choose the courses they wish to attend as well as to move from one to another. VENUE: BigDat 2020 will take place in Ancona, a city founded by Greek settlers and today one of the main ports on the Adriatic Sea. The venue will be: Department of Information Engineering Marche Polytechnic University Via Brecce Bianche 12 60131 Ancona KEYNOTE SPEAKERS: (to be completed) Jie Tang (Tsinghua University), Graph Embedding and Reasoning PROFESSORS AND COURSES: (to be completed) Jiawei Han (University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign), [advanced] From Unstructured Text to TextCube: Automated Construction and Multidimensional Exploration Wladek Minor (University of Virginia), [introductory/advanced] Big Data in Biomedical Sciences Peter Rousseeuw (KU Leuven), [introductory] Anomaly Detection by Robust Methods Asim Roy (Arizona State University), [intermediate] Hardware-based (GPU, FPGA based) Machine Learning – An Overview of Algorithms and Implementation Ideas and Methods Hanan Samet (University of Maryland), [intermediate] Multidimensional, Spatial, and Metric Data Structures for Sorting in Space and Similarity Searching Rory Smith (Monash University), [introductory/intermediate] Learning from Data, the Bayesian Way Jeffrey Ullman (Stanford University), [introductory] Big-data Algorithms That Aren't Machine Learning Wil van der Aalst (RWTH Aachen University), [introductory/intermediate] Process Mining: A Very Different Kind of Machine Learning That Can Be Applied in Any Organization OPEN SESSION An open session will collect 5-minute voluntary presentations of work in progress by participants. They should submit a half-page abstract containing title, authors, and summary of the research to david(a)irdta.eu by January 5, 2020. INDUSTRIAL SESSION: A session will be devoted to 10-minute demonstrations of practical applications of big data in industry.
