Big Data Clustering with Urban Analytics 🗓
Dr Punit Rathore
November 17, 2020 | Tuesday | 12 PM
ABSTRACT
Every day an abundant amount of data is generated from various sources such as IoT networks, smartphones, and social network activities. Making sense of such an unprecedented amount of data is essential for many businesses, services and almost for every domain of smart city application. Therefore, scalable and efficient algorithms are required to manage and extract useful information from big data. In this talk, Dr Punit Rathore will discuss his research work on “big data cluster analysis” for knowledge discovery from large volumes of data that are possibly unlabeled, anomalous, streaming, and/or high dimensional. He will also discuss some of the applications of his algorithms for smart city context, particularly for environment monitoring and intelligent transportation systems.
