Big Learning 2013 Workshop

My collaborator Joey Gonzalez is organizing this year (again) the NIPS Big Learning 2013 workshop.
The workshop will take place early December 2013 in Lake Tahoe. Submission deadline is October 9th 2013.

Some of this year's topics:

• Distributed algorithms for online and batch learning
• Parallel (multicore) algorithms for online and batch learning
• Theoretical analysis of distributed and parallel learning algorithms
• Implementation studies of large-scale distributed inference and learning algorithms --- challenges faced and lessons learnt
• Database systems for Big Learning --- models and algorithms implemented, properties (availability, consistency, scalability, etc.), strengths and limitations
