Talk Title:
Algorithm any good? A Cloud-based Infrastructure for Evaluation on Big Data
Talk Abstract:
The cloud-based infrastructure for evaluating machine learning and information retrieval algorithms on Terabytes of data, being built in the VISCERAL project, is presented. Instead of downloading data and running evaluations locally, the data will be centrally available on the cloud and algorithms to be evaluated will be programmed on the cloud, effectively bringing the algorithms to the data. The design of the VISCERAL infrastructure is presented, concentrating on the components for coordinating the participants in the benchmark and managing the ground truth creation. Future directions of development and potential impact on research and industry are discussed.
