Big Data challenges, techniques, technologies, and applications and how deep learning can be used

Abstract

It is already true that Big Data has drawn huge attention from researchers in information sciences, policy and decision makers in governments and enterprises. A large number of fields and sectors, ranging from economic and business activities to public administration, from national security to scientific researches in many areas, involve with Big Data problems. This talk is aimed to demonstrate a close-up view about Big Data, including Big Data applications, Big Data opportunities and challenges, as well as the state-of-the-art techniques and technologies that we currently adopt to deal with the Big Data problems. The second part is to discuss the deep learning role in Big Data. In recent years, deep learning caves out a research wave in machine learning. With outstanding performance, more and more applications of deep learning in pattern recognition, image recognition, speech recognition, and video processing have been developed. Restricted Boltzmann machine (RBM) plays an important role in current deep learning techniques, as most of existing deep networks are based on or related to it. This talk will also discuss how the big data relates with the deep learning.
