Hpts Trip Study (Day 2)

This is a belated twine upwards of my HPTS trip report. Read the get-go occupation of the HPTS trip study here, if you lot haven't before.

The get-go twenty-four threescore minutes menses of HPTS was a real busy, productive, as well as tiring day. Since my torso clock was nonetheless on East Coast time, I was broad awake at 6am again. I went for a longer run this time. I ran for five miles along the beach on the aptly named Sunset drive. Monterey Bay, Asilomar is an eerily beautiful slice of earth.

After breakfast, HPTS started amongst the information analytics session. That nighttime it was announced that Chris Re (from Stanford) won a MacArthur genius award. Chris was scheduled to utter inwards this get-go session of HPTS twenty-four threescore minutes menses 2. It was a real engaging talk. Chris talked nearly the DeepDive macroscopic information organisation they bring been working on. 

DeepDive is a organisation that reads texts as well as interrogation papers as well as collect macroscopic noesis nearly a topic amongst a character that exceeds paid human annotators as well as volunteers. This was surprising word to me; to a greater extent than or less other victory for the singularity team. (I had written nearly singularity before. It is a coming.)

They had demonstrated this organisation for extracting paleobiological facts to construct high coverage fossil tape past times reading/curating interrogation papers published on the topic. There has been human volunteers (are at that topographic point whatever other sort of volunteers?) working on the paleo fossil project. It took  329 volunteers, xiii years to acquire through 46K documents as well as hit fossil tape tables. Paleo DeepDive organisation processed through 10x documents as well as produced 100x extractions of information amongst improve precision as well as retrieve that humans. All this inwards 45 minutes of runtime (over eighty cores, 1 TB RAM, using SQL processing as well as statistical operations), instead of 2 decades of using human readers.
Holy cow!

Imagine this existence applied/integrated to Google Scholar searches. Wow! That would go transformative. There are already some developments toward smarter (more semantic-based) indexing/search of interrogation papers.

I am non a car learning guy, only from what I got DeepDive is using probabilistic bootstrapping approach to refine its guesses as well as brand them precise. DeepDive uses distant/weak supervision; the user writes to a greater extent than or less rules crappy rules that serve every bit crappy grooming data, therefore DeepDive progressively denoises the information as well as learns more.

They are using DeepDive for other domains for accelerating science, such every bit drug repurposing, genomics. Another interesting application of DeepDive is for fighting amongst human trafficking past times analyzing the black web. Here is a utter past times Chris on Deepdive system. (Not from the HPTS venue.)

After Chris's utter Todd Mostak, CEO MapD, gave a utter nearly a gpu-powered end-to-end visual anlaytics platform for interactively exploring big datasets. Todd was Sam Madden's PhD student. His startup evolved from his thesis. His exhibit looked interesting as well as fluid/quick.

The other sessions were on Big Data platforms, Distributed System platforms, as well as storage. The distributed organisation platform session was dominated past times talks nearly containers as well as Docker.

So what was all the buzz nearly at HPTS'15? It was nearly NVRAMs. That NVRAMs are getting available wider as well as off-the-shelf is leading us towards novel applications, pattern choices. Similarly RDMA was attracting excitement. Of course, at that topographic point was a lot of talking/discussing nearly HPTS, high-performance transaction systems. And to a greater extent than or less nearly in-memory databases.

Overall HPTS was a dandy experience. I am amazed past times the sheer book as well as character of interactions HPTS cultivated through hallway conversations. Keeping the workshop size express to at most 100 participants helped. Providing ample opportunities for conversations helped. I met/talked to at to the lowest degree one-half of the 100 workshop attendees over the 2 days. And I am a shy person. Comparing the HPTS sense amongst other conference sense the divergence gets starker. I promise to a greater extent than conferences tin acquire from HPTS as well as create out to improve their interaction book as well as quality. That is why nosotros go many hours to acquire to conferences afterall.
