SOCR News & Events: 2015 JSM Session on Big Data: Modeling, Tools, Analytics, and Training
Overview
The volume and diversity of biomedical data is exponentially increasing with Peta bytes of imaging and genetics data acquired annually. At the same time, tens-of-thousands of computational algorithms are developed and reported in the literature along with thousands of software tools and data analytic services. Experienced and novice data analysts demand intuitive, quick and platform-agnostic access to data, software tools, and infrastructure from millions of hardware devices. This explosion of information, scientific techniques, computational models, and technological advances leads to enormous challenges in data management, data interrogation, evidence-based biomedical inference, and reproducibility of findings. Novel mathematical algorithms, statistical analyses and computational tools are necessary to cope with this avalanche of data and hardware devices. This session will discuss aspects of Big Data modeling, software implementation, data analytics, high-dimensional visualization and training of skillful researchers.
