Cluster Structure Assessment in Big Static and Streaming Data, and their Applications for IoT and Transportation
# 87
Abstract
Everyday, an abundant amount of data is generated from various sources such as Internet of Things (IoT) networks, smartphones, and social network activities. Making sense of such an unprecedented amount of data is essential for many businesses, services and almost every smart city domain such as healthcare, transportation, environment, and energy sectors. The data generated from these domains are mostly unlabeled, anomalous, spatio-temporal, streaming, and/or high-dimensional, which makes their interpretation challenging to create useful knowledge. In this talk, Dr. Punit Rathore will discuss his efficient machine learning algorithms to manage and extract actionable information from big data from various domains. Specifically, he will present his novel cluster assessment and clustering algorithm for time-efficient tracking of cluster structures in static big data and high-velocity data streams, and its application for anomaly and change point detection and vehicle trajectory prediction.
