It also presents a scheme for distributed online learning exhibiting first-of-a-kind theoretical and empirical gains. For nonlinear kernelized methods, kernel matrix multiplications and summations become a bottleneck. It shows fast algorithms which provably reduce computation times from quadratic to linear time, with corresponding empirical runtime results, demonstrated on over 10,000 cores. * {{:presentations:usama-bigdatamining-kdd2012.pdf|Big Data Analytics: Applications and Opportunities in On-line Predictive Modeling}}, In this talk I will cover some of the basics in terms of infrastructure and design considerations for effective an efficient BigData. In many organizations, the lack of consideration of effective infrastructure and data management leads to unnecessarily expensive systems for which the benefits are insufficient to justify the costs. We will then pay specific attention to on-line data and the unique challenges and opportunities represented there. We cover examples of Predictive Analytics over Big Data with case studies in eCommerce Marketing, on-line publishing and recommendation systems, and advertising targeting: Special focus will be placed on the analysis of on-line data with applications in Search, Search Marketing, and targeting of advertising. We conclude with some technical challenges as well as the solutions that can be used to these challenges in social network data. * [[http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/ecastrom-1392560-microsoft-big-data/|microsoft big data]] ==== Blog and News Feed ==== * [[http://whatsthebigdata.com/|News and events about Big Data]] * [[http://www.greenplum.com/industry-buzz/big-data/research-papers|News and research papers about Big Data]] * [[http://www.ibmbigdatahub.com/|IBM Big Data Hub: Understanding big data for the enterprise]] * [[http://www.bigdatahealthcaresummit.com/default.aspx|Big Data for Health Care]] ==== Project ==== * [[http://www.research.ibm.com/articles/watson.shtml|IBM Watson deep Q&A]], evidence-based decision support, deep question answering, Jeopardy!, Health care * [[http://needleseek.msra.cn/|Needleseek]], mine open-domain semantic knowledge from web-scale data sources and answer user requests based on the mined semantic knowledge ==== Publication ==== * [[http://arxiv.org/pdf/1210.7350v1.pdf|Fast Data in the Era of Big Data: Twitter’s Real-Time Related Query Suggestion Architecture]] * [[http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/publications/Asadi_Lin_CIKM2012.pdf|Fast Candidate Generation for Two-Phase Document Ranking: Postings List Intersection with Bloom Filters]] * [[http://www.umiacs.umd.edu/~jimmylin/publications/Ture_Lin_NAACL-HLT2012.pdf|Why Not Grab a Free Lunch?
