Optimization and Big Data


With pervasive sensors continuously collecting and storing massive amounts of information, there is no doubt this is an era of data deluge. Learning from these large volumes of data is expected to bring significant science and engineering advances along with improvements in quality of life. However, with such a big blessing come big challenges. Running analytics on voluminous data sets by central processors and storage units seems infeasible, and with the advent of streaming data sources, learning must often be performed in real time, typically without a chance to revisit past entries. “Workhorse” signal processing (SP) and statistical learning tools have to be re-examined in today’s high-dimensional data regimes.

Natural Language Processing :

Natural language processing (NLP) is a subfield of computer science, information engineering, and artificial intelligence concerned with the interactions between computers and human (natural) languages, in particular how to program computers to process and analyze large amounts of natural language data.

IoT and edge computing applications :

The internet of things, or IoT, is the network of physical devices interrelated computing devices, mechanical and digital machines, objects, animals or people that are provided with unique identifiers(UIDs) and the ability to connect, collect and exchange data or transfer data over a network without requiring human-to-human or human-to-computer interaction.
