Project Introduction

Nowadays, Big Data are generated every day in various domains, such as Internet search, social networks, finance, business sectors, meteorology, genomics, connectomics, complex physics simulations, and biological and environmental research. The huge volume, high velocity, significant variety, and low veracity bring challenges to current machine learning techniques for analyzing the data. The research topics of this project include, but not limited to:

  • Theory and algorithms of data reduce techniques for Big Data
    • Online learning algorithms
    • Data sampling algorithms
  • Large scale network analysis
    • Fusion of information from multiple blogs, rating systems, and social networks
    • Recommendation systems
  • Theory and algorithms of large-scale matrix approximation
    • Online matrix factorization
  • Temporal analysis and longitude study in Big Data
    • Trend prediction in financial data
    • Topic detection in instant message systems
    • Real time modeling of events in dynamic networks
  • Heterogeneous learning on Big multi-modality Data
    • Multitask learning
    • Transfer learning
    • Semi-supervised learning
  • Large scale applications
    • Healthcare
    • Mobile computing such as location-based service, mobile networks, etc.
    • Biological data analysis
