[CFP] ParLearning'15 (with IPDPS'15)

  CALL FOR PAPERS
****************************************************************
            The 4th International Workshop on 
          Parallel and Distributed Computing for 
      Large Scale Machine Learning and Big Data Analytics
****************************************************************
                      May 29, 2015
                     Hyderabad, India
               In Conjunction with IPDPS 2015

****************************************************************

Scaling up machine-learning (ML), data mining (DM) and reasoning 
algorithms from Artificial Intelligence (AI) for massive datasets 
is a major technical challenge in the times of "Big Data". The 
past ten years has seen the rise of multi-core and GPU based computing. 
In distributed computing, several frameworks such as Mahout, GraphLab 
and Spark continue to appear to facilitate scaling up ML/DM/AI 
algorithms using higher levels of abstraction. We invite novel works 
that advance the trio-fields of ML/DM/AI through development of 
scalable algorithms or computing frameworks. Ideal submissions would 
be characterized as scaling up X on Y, where potential choices for 
X and Y are provided below.  

Scaling up
---- recommender systems
---- gradient descent algorithms
---- deep learning
---- sampling/sketching techniques
---- clustering (agglomerative techniques, graph clustering, 
    clustering heterogeneous data)
---- classification (SVM and other classifiers)
---- SVD
---- probabilistic inference (bayesian networks)
---- logical reasoning
---- graph algorithms and graph mining

On
---- Parallel architectures/frameworks (OpenMP, OpenCL, Intel TBB)
---- Distributed systems/frameworks (GraphLab, Hadoop, MPI, Spark etc.)

********************************************************************************
The hpc-announce mailing list has been setup to have a common mailing
list to share information with respect to upcoming HPC related
events. You are included in this mailing list based on your
participation or interest in a previous HPC conference or other event.

The purpose for providing a single mailing list is to allow
participants to easily identify such emails, and handle them
appropriately. Some options include:

1. If you feel that the number of such emails is too many, filter them
to less-frequently-read folders in your email client.

2. Change your subscription to a digest option
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce) which will
consolidate emails sent that week into a single summary email.

3. Finally, if you do not wish to receive any emails from hpc-announce,
you can unsubscribe from the mailing list
(https://lists.mcs.anl.gov/mailman/listinfo/hpc-announce). Once
unsubscribed, we guarantee that you will not be added back in through
participation in a different HPC related conference or event. You will
need to send an email to hpc-announce-owner@mcs.anl.gov to be added
back on.
