    WORKSHOP ON BIG DATA & DEEP LEARNING IN HIGH PERFORMANCE COMPUTING ------------------------------------

    The number of very large data repositories (big data) is increasing in a rapid pace.
    Analysis of such repositories using the "traditional" sequential implementations of ML
    and emerging techniques, like deep learning, that model high-level abstractions in data
    by using multiple processing layers, requires expensive computational resources and long
    running times. Parallel or distributed computing are possible approaches that can make
    analysis of very large repositories and exploration of high-level representations
    feasible. Taking advantage of a parallel or a distributed execution of a ML/statistical
    system may: i) increase its speed; ii) learn hidden representations; iii) search a larger
    space and reach a better solution or; iv) increase the range of applications where it can
    be used (because it can process more data, for example). Parallel and distributed
    computing is therefore of high importance to extract knowledge from massive amounts of
    data and learn hidden representations.

    The workshop will be concerned with the exchange of experience among academics, researchers
    and the industry whose work in big data and deep learning require high performance
    computing to achieve goals. Participants will present recently developed algorithms/systems,
    on going work and applications taking advantage of such parallel or distributed environments.
