Call for Papers IJCNN 2015 Special Session "Autonomous Learning from Big Data"

Special Session for IEEE IJCNN 2015.

Updated submission deadline: 5 February, 2015.

Organizers: 

P. Angelov (www.lancs.ac.uk/staff/angelov)
A. Roy (ASIM.ROY@asu.edu)

The aim of the special session is to present latest results in this fast expanding area of Autonomous Learning Systems and Big Data Analytics and to give a forum to discuss the challenges for the future.
It is organised by the new Special Interest Group on Autonomous Learning Systems and the Section on Big Data Analytics within INNS and by the Technical Committee on Evolving Intelligent Systems, SMC Society, IEEE and aims to be a focal point of the latest research in this emerging area.

One of the important research challenges today is to cope effectively and efficiently with the ever growing amount of data that is being exponentially produced by sensors, Internet activity, nature and society. To deal with this ocean of zeta-bytes of data, data streams and navigate to the small islands of human-interpretable knowledge and information requires new types of analytics approaches and autonomous learning systems and processes.

Traditionally, for decades or even centuries machine learning, AI, cognitive science were developed with the assumption that the data available to test and validate the hypotheses is a small, finite volume and can be processed iteratively and offline. The realities of dynamically evolving big data streams and big data sets (e.g. pentabytes of data from retail industry, high frequency trading, genomics or other areas) become more prominent only during the last decade or so. This poses new challenges and requires new, revolutionary approaches.
