Introduction: The From Data to Knowledge workshop May 7-11 at Berkeley should be of interest to the many people encountering streaming data in different disciplines. It’s run by a group of astronomers who encounter streaming data all the time. I met Josh Bloom recently and he is broadly interested in a workshop covering all aspects of Machine Learning on streaming data. The hope here is that techniques developed in one area turn out useful in another which seems quite plausible. Particularly if you are in the bay area, consider checking it out.

Introduction: May 16 in Cambridge , is the New England Machine Learning Day , a first regional workshop/symposium on machine learning. To present a poster, submit an abstract by May 5 . May 19 in New York , STOC is coming to town and rather surprisingly having workshops which should be quite a bit of fun. I’ll be speaking at Algorithms for Distributed and Streaming Data .

Introduction: The New York ML symposium was last Friday. There were 303 registrations, up a bit from last year . I particularly enjoyed talks by Bill Freeman on vision and ML, Jon Lenchner on strategy in Jeopardy, and Tara N. Sainath and Brian Kingsbury on deep learning for speech recognition . If anyone has suggestions or thoughts for next year, please speak up. I also attended Strata + Hadoop World for the first time. This is primarily a trade conference rather than an academic conference, but I found it pretty interesting as a first time attendee. This is ground zero for the Big data buzzword, and I see now why. It’s about data, and the word “big” is so ambiguous that everyone can lay claim to it. There were essentially zero academic talks. Instead, the focus was on war stories, product announcements, and education. The general level of education is much lower—explaining Machine Learning to the SQL educated is the primary operating point. Nevertheless that’s happening, a

Introduction: As usual ICML 2007 will be hosting a workshop program to be held this year on June 24th. The success of the program depends on having researchers like you propose interesting workshop topics and then organize the workshops. I’d like to encourage all of you to consider sending a workshop proposal. The proposal deadline has been extended to March 5. See the workshop web-site for details. Organizing a workshop is a unique way to gather an international group of researchers together to focus for an entire day on a topic of your choosing. I’ve always found that the cost of organizing a workshop is not so large, and very low compared to the benefits. The topic and format of a workshop are limited only by your imagination (and the attractiveness to potential participants) and need not follow the usual model of a mini-conference on a particular ML sub-area. Hope to see some interesting proposals rolling in.

Introduction: The workshop on the Meaningful Use of Complex Medical Data is happening again, August 9-12 in LA, near UAI on Catalina Island August 15-17. I enjoyed my visit last year, and expect this year to be interesting also. The first Bay Area Machine Learning Symposium is August 30 at Google . Abstracts are due July 30.

2 0.62011456 319 hunch net-2008-10-01-NIPS 2008 workshop on ‘Learning over Empirical Hypothesis Spaces’
Introduction: This workshop asks for insights how far we may/can push the theoretical boundary of using data in the design of learning machines. Can we express our classification rule in terms of the sample, or do we have to stick to a core assumption of classical statistical learning theory, namely that the hypothesis space is to be defined independent from the sample? This workshop is particularly interested in – but not restricted to – the ‘luckiness framework’ and the recently introduced notion of ‘compatibility functions’ in a semi-supervised learning context (more information can be found at http://www.kuleuven.be/wehys ).

The general interest level in parallel learning seems to be growing rapidly, so I expect quite a bit of attendance. Please join us if you are parallel-interested. And, if you are working in the area of parallel learning, please consider submitting an abstract due Oct. 17 for presentation at the workshop.

1 0.89476579 154 hunch net-2006-02-04-Research Budget Changes
Introduction: The announcement of an increase in funding for basic research in the US is encouraging. There is some discussion of this at the Computing Research Policy blog. One part of this discussion has a graph of NSF funding over time, presumably in dollar budgets. I don’t believe that dollar budgets are the right way to judge the impact of funding changes on researchers. A better way to judge seems to be in terms of dollar budget divided by GDP which provides a measure of the relative emphasis on research. This graph was assembled by dividing the NSF budget by the US GDP . For 2005 GDP, I used the current estimate and for 2006 and 2007 assumed an increase by a factor of 1.04 per year. The 2007 number also uses the requested 2007 budget which is certain to change. This graph makes it clear why researchers were upset: research funding emphasis has fallen for 3 years in a row. The reality has been significantly more severe due to DARPA decreasing funding and industrial

Introduction: Here are a few other papers I enjoyed from ICML06. Topic Models: Dynamic Topic Models David Blei, John Lafferty A nice model for how topics in LDA type models can evolve over time, using a linear dynamical system on the natural parameters and a very clever structured variational approximation (in which the mean field parameters are pseudo-observations of a virtual LDS). Like all Blei papers, he makes it look easy, but it is extremely impressive. Pachinko Allocation Wei Li, Andrew McCallum A very elegant (but computationally challenging) model which induces correlation amongst topics using a multi-level DAG whose interior nodes are “super-topics” and “sub-topics” and whose leaves are the vocabulary words. Makes the slumbering monster of structure learning stir.

Introduction: I attended KDD this year. The conference has always had a strong grounding in what works based on the KDDcup , but it has developed a halo of workshops on various subjects. It seems that KDD has become a place where the economy meets machine learning in a stronger sense than many other conferences. There were several papers that other people might like to take a look at. Yehuda Koren Collaborative Filtering with Temporal Dynamics . This paper describes how to incorporate temporal dynamics into a couple of collaborative filtering approaches. This was also a best paper award. D. Sculley , Robert Malkin, Sugato Basu , Roberto J. Bayardo , Predicting Bounce Rates in Sponsored Search Advertisements . The basic claim of this paper is that the probability people immediately leave (“bounce”) after clicking on an advertisement is predictable.

Introduction: I found Tong Zhang’s paper on Data Dependent Concentration Bounds for Sequential Prediction Algorithms interesting. Roughly speaking, it states a tight bound on the future error rate for online learning algorithms assuming that samples are drawn independently. This bound is easily computed and will make the progressive validation approaches used here significantly more practical.
