讲座介绍：
The availability of large scale, diverse, and high resolution data sets has a transformative
effect on the research landscape. It allows for data-intensive, increasingly personalized, and
near instantaneous analysis and decision making. Thus, it is not surprising to see a sustained
push, from policy makers and government bodies, towards big data analytics in hopes of
solving some of our society’s most pressing challenges. Signal processing theories and tools
can be of paramount importance towards the realization of the big data vision.
The purpose of this presentation is to highlight the importance of signal processing tools
focusing on areas related to visual data processing and analysis. Various aspects of the
underlying research problem will be discussed and important tools such as dimensionality
reduction methods, feature extraction algorithms and classification solutions will be presented
in a tutorial style.
