BigDat 2020 Autumn: early registration May 9*To be removed from our mailing list, please respond to this message with UNSUBSCRIBE in the subject line* ********************************************** 7th INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL ON BIG DATA BigDat 2020 Autumn Beersheba, Israel October 25-29, 2020 Co-organized by: Ben-Gurion University of the Negev Institute for Research Development, Training and Advice (IRDTA) Brussels / London https://irdta.eu/bigdat2020a/ ********************************************** --- Early registration deadline: May 9, 2020 --- ********************************************** SCOPE: BigDat 2020 Autumn will be a research training event with a global scope aiming at updating participants on the most recent advances in the critical and fast developing area of big data. Previous events were held in Tarragona, Bilbao, Bari, Timișoara, Cambridge and Ancona. Big data is a broad field covering a large spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation with an extraordinary potential for a huge impact on scientific discoveries, medicine, engineering, business models, and society itself. 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 24 four-hour and a half courses, 2 keynote lectures and 1 round table, 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 Autumn 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. VENUE: BigDat 2020 Autumn will take place in Beersheba, the largest city in the Negev desert of southern Israel and an important technology center. The venue will be: tba STRUCTURE: 3 courses will run in parallel during the whole event.

They should submit a half-page abstract containing the title, authors, and summary of the research to david(a)irdta.eu by October 17, 2020. INDUSTRIAL SESSION: A session will be devoted to 10-minute demonstrations of practical applications of big data in industry. Companies interested in contributing are welcome to submit a 1-page abstract containing the program of the demonstration and the logistics needed.

For the sake of organization, it will be helpful to have an estimation of the respective demand for each course. During the event, participants will be free to attend the courses they wish. Since the capacity of the venue is limited, registration requests will be processed on a first come first served basis. The registration period will be closed and the on-line registration tool disabled when the capacity of the venue is exhausted. It is highly recommended to register prior to the event. FEES: Fees comprise access to all courses and lunches. There are several early registration deadlines. Fees depend on the registration deadline. Refunding of registration fees will not be possible. However, an exception will be made in case the event must be postponed due to the continuation of the coronavirus crisis in Autumn (which is a scenario the organizers do not expect). ACCOMMODATION: Suggestions for accommodation will be available in due time. CERTIFICATE: A certificate of successful participation in the event will be delivered indicating the number of hours of lectures.

Previous events were held in Bilbao, Genova and Warsaw. Deep learning is a branch of artificial intelligence covering a spectrum of current exciting research and industrial innovation that provides more efficient algorithms to deal with large-scale data in neurosciences, computer vision, speech recognition, language processing, human-computer interaction, drug discovery, biomedical informatics, healthcare, recommender systems, learning theory, robotics, games, etc. Renowned academics and industry pioneers will lecture and share their views with the audience. Most deep learning subareas will be displayed, and main challenges identified through 20 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, DeepLearn 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.

[Apologies for multiple postings.] ====================================================================== Various Research Assistants/Associates in the post-graduate program UnRAVeL “Uncertainty and Randomness in Algorithms, Verification and Logic” at RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany ====================================================================== Context. The RWTH Aachen University is looking for enthusiastic and highly qualified doctoral researchers. Various positions are available within the interdisciplinary Research Training Group (RTG) UnRAVeL founded by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG). The key emphasis of an RTG is on the qualification of doctoral researchers with a focused research program and a structured training strategy. The RTG UnRAVeL aims to significantly advance probabilistic modelling and analysis for uncertainty by developing new theories, algorithms, and tool-supported verification techniques, and to apply them to core problems from security (e.g., probabilistic protocols), planning (robotics and railway engineering), and safety and performance analysis (railway systems). To tackle these research challenges, theoretical computer scientists from computer-aided verification, logic and games, algorithms and complexity, together with experts from management science (robust optimization), applied computer science (robotics and security), and railway engineering intensively cooperate within the RTG UnRAVeL. Required profile. Candidates must have (or soon obtain) a master degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or related area and have completed their studies with excellent grades. You should have interest in performing original, highly competitive scientific research, publishing your results in top conferences and scientific journals. Self-motivation and the ability to work both independently and as a team player in local and international research groups are expected. Fluency in English is required; proficiency in German is helpful but not compulsory. How to apply? Your written application should contain: - a curriculum vitae - a transcript of records (list of courses and grades) - a cover letter including a statement of interest in (some of) the RTG topics (Algorithms and Complexity, Verification, Logic, or Application Scenarios) that can be found on our web-site, and - a recommendation letter e.g., by your master thesis supervisor(s). All documents should be formatted as a single pdf-file. You should send your application ultimately by ** March 31, 2020 (AoE) ** to the e-mail address: unravel-appl(a)cs.rwth-aachen.de What do we offer?
