10 Dec 2011 - Sierra Nevada, Spain
Come check out our workshop! I’m co-organizing the Big Learning workshop at NIPS 2011 on parallel and large-scale machine learning. The workshop aims to:
Bring together parallel system builders in industry and academia, machine learning algorithms experts, and end users to identify the key challenges, opportunities, and myths of Big Learning. What REALLY changes from the traditional learning setting when faced with terabytes or petabytes of data?
Solicit practical case studies, demos, benchmarks and lessons-learned presentations, and position papers.
Showcase recent and ongoing progress towards parallel ML algorithms
Provide a forum for exchange regarding tools, software, and systems that address the Big Learning problem.
Educate the researchers and practitioners across communities on state-of-the-art solutions and their limitations, particularly focusing on key criteria for selecting task- and domain-appropriate platforms and algorithms.
See you there! It’s a 2-day workshop (Dec 16-17) at the Montebajo Theatre in Sierra Nevada, Spain. Also we generous prizes sponsored by NVIDIA (just guess what they’ll be…) so come and vote for the best contributions.
