    Title
    Knowledge Discovery in High Dimensional Data
     
    Abstract
    While data clustering has a long history and a large amount of research has been devoted to the development of numerous clustering techniques, significant challenges still remain. One of the most important of them is associated with high data dimensionality. A particular class of clustering algorithms...

  • Big data analytics for economic development

    Sunandan Chakraborty, New York University, US

    Abstract:

    The Web is a collection of vast and diverse datasets, like news articles, user posted articles, (e.g. blogs), social media (e.g. twitter), images, in addition to different governmental and non-governmental organization post structured data on their websites. My research is focused on building a generic big data analytics engine that can analyze parallel streams of diverse and noisy...

    Title
    Linear forms over semirings: algorithmic applications and complexity results
     
    Abstract
    Based on work included in my upcoming PhD thesis, I will discuss various topics related to the evaluation of linear transformations (or equivalently, matrix-vector multiplications) over different types of rings and semirings. The work is motivated by applications in...

  • Advances in Multi-label Classification

    Dr. Jesse Read, University Carlos III of Madrid, Spain

    Abstract:

    Multi-label classification has attracted much attention over the last few years, and its mention in the literature had expanded prolifically. In multi-label classification, each data instance may be associated with multiple classes, as opposed to a single class label (as in the traditional classification task). This context arises naturally in a wide variety of domains (text...

    Guest lecture
    OIH, Otaniementie 19, Espoo

    Abstract: Modern Web, which is frequently called Social Web or Web 2.0,
    celebrates the power of the user community. Most frequently it is
    associated with the power of users as contributors or various kinds of
    contents through Wikis, blogs, and resource sharing sites. However, the
    power of the user community impacts not only the production of Web content,
    but also access to...

    Title
    Exploration and retrieval of whole-metagenome sequencing samples
     
    Abstract
    Over the recent years, the field of whole metagenome shotgun sequencing has witnessed significant growth due to the next generation sequencing technologies that allow sequencing genomic samples cheaper, faster, and with better coverage than before. This technical advancement has...
