Big Data Stream Analytics and Its Applications

Absteact:

Data streams are continuous flows of data. Examples of data streams include network traffic, sensor data, call center records and so on. Data streams demonstrate several unique properties that together conform to the characteristics of big data (i.e., volume, velocity, variety, and veracity) and add challenges to data stream mining. In this talk, we will present an organized picture on how to handle various data mining/machine learning techniques in data streams. In addition, we will present a number of stream classification applications such as adaptive website fingerprinting, textual stream analytics (political actor identification over textual stream), attack trace classification using good quality similarity metrics (metric learning) and domain adaptation.
