"Emerging Methodologies for Big Data Integration"

                    July 12 - 17, 2015, Killarney, Ireland  (http://www.ijcnn.org/ )

 

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

IMPORTANT DATES

Paper submission:  January 15th, 2015
Paper Decision notification: March 15th, 2015
Camera-ready submission: April 15th, 2015
Conference Dates: July 12 - 17th, 2015

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

Over the years, huge quantities of data have been generated by large-scale scientific experiments (biomedical, “omic”, imaging, astronomical, etc.), big industrial companies and on the web. One of the main characteristics of such Big Data is that they are multi-view, i.e. there are multiple sources (in the “omics” sciences, experiments related to mRNA, miRNA etc.), relate the same patterns (in this case patients) or multi-domain (in biomedical applications for examples, “omics, imaging and clinical data).

As a consequence, new methodologies based on neural networks, machine and statistical learning, computation Intelligence and others, have been proposed to integrate these kinds of big data and to elicit relevant information to infer novel models and correlations.

The aim of the special session is to solicit new approaches to real world scientific and industrial big data integration, as well as applications of above mentioned Big Data methodologies.

 

Topics*

Papers must present original work or review the state-of-the-art in the following non-exhaustive list of topics:

Multi-view learning

Multi-view clustering

data fusion

data integration

multi-view data applications

multi domain data applications

 

THE DEADLINE FOR THE PAPER SUBMISSION TO THE SPECIAL SESSION IS THE SAME OF IJCNN 2015, January 15th 2015.

 

All the submissions will be peer-reviewed with the same criteria used for other contributed papers.

 

Perspective authors will submit their papers through the IJCNN2015 conference submission system at http://www.ijcnn.org/
