=====================================================


HIGHLIGHTS
-----------

    * Foster collaboration between HPC community and AI community
        * Applying HPC techniques for learning problems
        * Identifying HPC challenges from learning and inference
    * Explore a critical emerging area with strong academia and
industry interest
    * Great opportunity for researchers worldwide for collaborating
with Chinese Academia and Industry


CALL FOR PAPERS
---------------

Authors are invited to submit manuscripts of original unpublished
research that demonstrate a strong interplay between
parallel/distributed computing techniques and learning/inference
applications, such as algorithm design and libraries/framework
development on multicore/ manycore architectures, GPUs, clusters,
supercomputers, cloud computing platforms that target applications
including but not limited to:

    Learning and inference using large scale Bayesian Networks
    Large scale inference algorithms using parallel TPIC models,
clustering and SVM etc.
    Parallel natural language processing (NLP).
    Semantic inference for disambiguation of content on web or social media
    Discovering and searching for patterns in audio or video content
    On-line analytics for streaming text and multimedia content
    Comparison of various HPC infrastructures for learning
    Large scale learning applications in search engine and social networks
    Distributed machine learning tools (e.g., Mahout and IBM parallel tool)
    Real-time solutions for learning algorithms on parallel platforms
