报告摘要:
Advances in science and technology in the past a few decades have led to big data explosion across a variety of fields. Extraction of useful information and knowledge from big data is a grand challenge. To tackle this challenge requires major breakthroughs in efficient computational and statistical approaches to big data analytics.
In this talk, I will present some leveraging algorithms, which make a key contribution to resolving the grand challenge. In these algorithms, by sampling a very small representative sub-dataset using smart
algorithms, one can effectively extract relevant information of vast data sets from the small sub-dataset. Such algorithms are scalable to big data. These efforts allow pervasive access to big data analytics especially for those who cannot directly use supercomputers. More importantly, these algorithms enable massive ordinary users to analyze big data using tablet computers.
