Call for Papers

High dimensionality is inherent in applications involving text, audio, 
images and video as well as in many biomedical applications involving 
high-throughput data. Many applications involving relational or network 
data also produce massive high-dimensional data sets. To deal with such 
problems, a wide range of approaches are available. These include "large 
p, small n" settings, dimensionality reduction, clustering, manifold 
learning, random projections, etc. Such approaches are crucial in 
dealing with issues concerning statistical reliability, revealing and 
visualizing structure hidden by the high dimensionality and noise, as 
well as saving the computation and storage burden.

The purpose of this workshop is two-fold: first to highlight novel 
research addressing high dimensionality and at the same bringing in 
contact prominent researchers and practitioners in the particular aspect 
of big data analysis. The dual keynote talks from both the academia and 
the industry emphasize the importance of building bridges between 
state-of-the-art research and practical applications.

The workshop's interests range from applications involving high 
dimensional data to the theoretical aspects of the problem. In addition, 
there is a particular interest in techniques that take advantage of 
parallel platforms to effectively handle truly large-scale real-world 
problems, and techniques that improve memory efficiency, a premium in 
streaming and distributed environments.

The topics of this workshop include, but are not limited to:

-    "Large p, small n" settings
-    Supervised/unsupervised/semi-supervised dimensionality reduction
-    Large-scale network analysis
-    Data clustering
-    Random Projections for big data
-    High-dimensional data streams
-    Manifold learning for big data
-    Kernel-based approaches for big data
-    Non-negative matrix factorization for big data
-    Big data applications involving high dimensionality
