Saturday Morning Videos: Big data and Data science: LIX colloquium 2014

Laurent Duval did an outstanding job at summarizing yesterday's LIX colloquium at Polytechnique yesterday. He also featured the videos of the talks. 

You need to go there to watch the videos.

 Here is the list of talks.

• Keynote speech: Community detection in networks, Santo Fortunato, Aalto University
• Text and Big Data,Gregory Grefenstette, Inria Saclay - Île de France
• Accessing Information in Large Document Collections: classification in web-scale taxonomies, Eric Gaussier, Université Joseph Fourier (Grenoble I)
• Shaping Social Activity by Incentivizing Users, Manuel Gomez Rodriguez, Max Planck Institute for Software Systems
• Machine Learning on Graphs and Beyond, Marc Tommasi, Inria Lille 
• Learning to discover: data science in high-energy physics and the HiggsML challenge, Balázs Kégl, CNRS
• Big Data on Big Systems: Busting a Few Myths, Peter Triantafillou, University of Glasgow
• Big Sequence Management, Themis Palpanas, Paris Descartes University
• Learning to discover: data science in high-energy physics and the HiggsML challenge, Balázs Kégl, CNRS
• Big Data on Big Systems: Busting a Few Myths, Peter Triantafillou, University of Glasgow
• Big Sequence Management, Themis Palpanas, Paris Descartes University 
• Understanding Videos at YouTube Scale, Richard Washington, Google
• AWS's big data/HPC innovations, Stephan Hadinger, Amazon Web Services
• Big Data in Insurance - Evolution or disruption? Stéphane Guinet, AXA 
• Closing words on a word cloud (with time, series, graph and classification are the big four)

For the record, I am super glad that the organizers thought it was a good idea to use Google Hangout to keep some record of what was discussed (like we do at the Paris Machine Learning meetup - 1520 members and counting -) . We need more of these initiatives !
