Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to contribute a chapter for our upcoming book entitled “Clustering Methods for Big Data Analytics: Techniques, toolboxes and applications” to be published by Springer sometime in 2018

Book submission website: https://easychair.org/cfp/Cluster-BigData2018

Below is a short description of the book:

=============================================================================================================================

This book will present recent research advances in designing efficient clustering methods and tools for analyzing Big data and their innovative applications in contemporary AI systems, such as information retrieval, text mining, recommender systems, smart cities, Internet of things, digital and mobile health, human-robot interaction, social network analysis, etc.

The large volume and variety of data, being generated at an accelerated velocity, creates an important opportunity and challenge for humans and organizations. Data has become the lifeblood of today’s knowledge-driven economy and society. Unfortunately, conventional unsupervised learning techniques, especially clustering, face tremendous challenges when mining such data due to its high complexity, heterogeneity, large volume and rapid generation. This raises exciting challenges for researchers to design new scalable and efficient clustering methods and tools that are able to extract valuable information from data.


The goal of this book is to provide a coverage of recent developments in big data clustering methods, tools, frameworks, applications, representation, visualization, and validation measures for analyzing Big Data.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
● Clustering large scale data
● Clustering heterogeneous data
● Distributed clustering methods
● Clustering structured and unstructured data
● Clustering and unsupervised learning for Deep Learning
● Deep Learning methods for clustering
● Clustering high speed cloud, grid, and streaming data
● New Extensions of partitioning, model based, density based, grid based, fuzzy and evolutionary clustering algorithms for Big data analysis
● Clustering large unstructured, and text data
● Applications of Big data clustering methods to advanced manufacturing
● Application of clustering to smart cities and Internet of Things
● Clustering Multimedia and multi-structured Data
● Semi-supervised clustering
● Clustering data streams
● Application of clustering for Large-scale Recommendation Systems
● Application of clustering for mining Social Media Systems
● Validation measures for evaluating Big data clustering results
● Visualization of clusters in Big Data
● New clusterings algorithms for sparse, high, dimensional and noisy data
● New toolboxes for clustering mixed types and/or high dimensional and/or large scale data
● New clustering algorithms on Big Data frameworks: Hadoop, Spark, etc
