Big data: an overview of current research by Mr. Prof. Stéphane CANU

Stéphane Canu is a Professor at INSA Rouen-Normandie, founder of the Information Systems Architecture department and later director of the Computer Science, Information Processing and Systems Laboratory (LITIS). He has coordinated and participated in the evaluation of several computer science research programs.

His research is dedicated to the statistical theory of learning and, in particular, to kernel machines, sparsity, and optimization.

Summary: 

We are inundated with data, and its volume increases daily. Therefore, the current challenge is no longer accessing information, but processing this mass of heterogeneous information in continuous flow, in enormous quantity, and in diverse formats. The aim of this presentation is to take stock of the new trends and the associated scientific problems.
