Topic/Title Smartphone Sensor Mining Applications: Ubiquitous Possibilities
Date & Time July 23, 2014 (Wednesday) - 5:40pm
Location Ballroom 1
Description

Smart phones have exploded in popularity over the past half dozen years and these devices are now not just ubiquitous, but powerful and packed with sensors such as an accelerometer, gyroscope, GPS, compass, barometer, audio sensor (microphone), image sensor (camera), and light sensor. We are now also beginning to see these sensors migrate to smartwatches, which are primed to explode in popularity. These mobile sensors make exciting new applications possible. In this tutorial I will survey some of these sensor mining applications, discuss the underlying technology and technology challenges, and describe the role of data mining in these applications. The new breed of applications that have recently hit the market will allow our mobile devices to become truly intelligent and context-aware, and allow them to learn a lot about us and our immediate environment. This tutorial is intended as an introduction to the area and is appropriate for anyone who is interested in the area.

Short Bio

Gary Weiss is a faculty member in the department of Computer and Information Science at Fordham University in New York City. He is the Director of the Wireless Sensor Data Mining (WISDM) Lab, which explores how smartphone and other mobile sensors can be used to support human activity recognition and related applications. The WISDM Lab, which is supported by grants from the U.S. National Science Foundation, Google, and several other corporations, recently released the actitracker activity tracking app (actitracker.com). Prior to coming to Fordham, Dr. Weiss worked at AT&T Labs as a software engineer, expert system developer, and finally as a data scientist. He received a B.S. degree in Computer Science from Cornell University, an M.S. degree in Computer Science from Stanford University, and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Rutgers University. He has published over fifty papers in machine learning and data mining.

Topic/Title Big Data Issues for Mining Knowledge in Maintenance Information Systems
Date & Time July 22, 2014 (Tuesday), 12:00-01:00pm
Location Ballroom 1
Description

ABSTRACT
Maintenance is a strategic process and/or service all over the word. The effective monitoring of the assets is a key task in order to guarantee efficient and safe exploitation. Current assets, with plenty of sensors' already installed and pervasive computing on them generate a huge of data along their day‐today working as well as their maintenance. In this scenario, asset managers host a large number of diverse systems where data, regarding different aspects of their activity, are stored. In most cases, these data are captured, stored and processed by different - often incompatible systems -, and further managed by independent departments and not shared at all.

In addition, it is fairly frequent that while large amounts of data are gathered only a small fraction of it is used for a specific purpose; the remainder is simply saved, or even worse, discarded. Important information and knowledge are buried within those extends of data. They could be discovered if the data were properly organized and processed. A number of unused techniques and paradigms in Information Technology allow for this knowledge discovery. On the one hand, Cloud Computing brings a new service delivery paradigm allows for pay-as-you-go services, which adapt to the customer needs, without requiring expensive data centers' infrastructures. From the customer point of view, Cloud Computing brings the possibility of requesting computing resources, storage, and network bandwidth - as needed. This paradigm can be used both from public services or even within‐house private services.

On the other hand, Data Mining techniques, developed along fifteen years have allowed the discovery of non‐trivial knowledge from large databases. As the computing resources increase in their power and decrease in their prices, the capture and storage of data are becoming increasingly affordable leading to huge Big Data techniques to improve asset monitoring and management stores of data. This is increasing in several dimensions, not just size but also, variety - structure, semi-structured, non-structured -, speed of gathering, ... to face their management and processing new computing techniques are required.
They are all included under a new term: Big Data. It refers to systems, algorithms, and procedures suitable to process data sets, which largely overcome the capacity of current single computers. Big Data is one-term drawing attention of many companies and institutions all over the world. Most organizations are speeding up their data processing strategies towards Big Data. This means a clear recognition by industry, agencies and public institutions. That is why, the goal of this talk is to address the current challenges of big data in maintenance; i.e. the analysis, design and implementation of systems that allow for the effective exploitation of data for asset managers.

Topic/Title Data Science Emergence
Date & Time July 23, 2014 (Wednesday), 12:00-01:00pm
Location Ballroom 1
Description Explosion of digital data and its diversity over the past decade has been challenging scientists and practitioners in a range of areas. Vast amounts of data are being produced every day. It is estimated that the growth rate is exponential and no saturation point, or gradual flattening, is expected to occur in a near-future. The present trend indicates that the rapid data expansion will interpenetrate into a broader spectrum of scientific, commercial and social spheres. The necessity to cope with these challenges gave birth to Data Science - an emerging field of scientific and educational endeavor. Data Science is a novel interdisciplinary domain that has been progressively forming over the past decade. It addresses two pressing needs: a coherent scientific approach to rising data related challenges and a growing demand for education of new professionals - data scientists. We shall explore both scientific and professional aspects of these emerging initiatives.
Short Bio Dr. Peter Geczy is with the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST). He also held positions at the Institute of Physical and Chemical Research (RIKEN) and the Research Center for Future Technologies. His interdisciplinary scientific interests encompass domains of data science, human interactions and behavior, social intelligence technologies, privacy, information systems, knowledge management and engineering, artificial intelligence, and adaptable systems. His recent research focus also extends to the spheres of service science, engineering, management, and computing. He received several awards in recognition of his accomplishments. Dr. Geczy has been serving on various professional boards and committees, and has been a distinguished speaker in academia and industry.
