Workshop on Big Data 2014

Together with colleagues from EPFL, we are organizing a seminar on Big Data under the umbrella of CUSO  (Conférence Universitaire de Suisse Occidentale). The workshop aims at providing the participants with a comprehensive overview on state-of-the-art research directions and topics. We hope that our selection of internationally renowned speakers is able to achieve this goal.
