Connectionists: Call for Papers: WCCI 2016, Vancouver - Special Session on BIG DATA

[Asim Roy]

World Congress on Computational Intelligence (WCCI 2016)
Cross-Disciplinary and CI Applications (CDCI) 2016
July 25-29, 2016, Vancouver, Canada
 
Special Session on
“Computational Intelligence, Nature-Inspired Learning and Big Data”
 
The aim of this special session is to promote new advances and research directions in efficient and innovative algorithmic approaches to analyzing big data (e.g. deep learning, nature-inspired and computational intelligence approaches), implementations on different computing platforms (e.g. neuromorphic, GPUs, clouds, clusters) and applications of big data to solve real-world problems (e.g. weather prediction, transportation, energy management).
 
A paper accepted for presentation at this cross-disciplinary and CI applications special session will be published in one of the three conference proceedings (IJCNN, FUZZ-IEEE, or IEEE CEC) that is most appropriate for the paper.
 
Topics and Areas include, but not limited to:
•       Autonomous, online, incremental learning – theory, algorithms and applications in big data
•       High dimensional data, feature selection, feature transformation – theory, algorithms and applications for big data
•       Scalable algorithms for big data
•       Learning algorithms for high-velocity streaming data
•       Deep learning algorithms
•       Machine vision and big data
•       Brain-machine interfaces and big data
•       Cognitive modeling and big data
•       Embodied robotics and big data
•       Fuzzy systems and big data
•       Evolutionary systems and big data
•       Evolving systems and big data 
•       Neuromorphic hardware for scalable machine learning
•       Parallel and distributed computing for big data (cloud, HPC, GPUs, clusters, etc.)
•       Big data and healthcare/medical applications
•       Big data and energy systems/smart grids
•       Big data and transportation systems
