Advances in Big Data: Proceedings of the 2nd INNS Conference on Big Data, October 23-25, 2016, Thessaloniki, Greece (Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing)

The book offers a timely snapshot of neural network technologies as a significant component of big data analytics platforms. It promotes new advances and research directions in efficient and innovative algorithmic approaches to analyzing big data (e.g. deep networks nature-inspired and brain-inspired algorithms) implementations on different computing platforms (e.g. neuromorphic graphics processing units (GPUs) clouds clusters) and big data analytics applications to solve real-world problems (e.g. weather prediction transportation energy management). The book which reports on the seco nd edition of the INNS Conference on Big Data held on October 23-25 2016 in Thessaloniki Greece depicts an interesting collaborative adventure of neural networks with big data and other learning technologies.
