Fall 2019: Vagelis Papalexakis (UC Riverside)

Tensors and tensor decompositions have been very popular and effective tools for analyzing multi-aspect data in a wide variety of fields, ranging from Psychology to Chemometrics, and from Signal Processing to Data Mining and Machine Learning. Using tensors in the era of big data presents us with a rich variety of applications, but also poses great challenges, especially when it comes to scalability and efficiency.In this talk, we will demonstrate the effectiveness of tensor decompositions as data analytic tools in...

The growing cost gap between DRAM and storage together with increasing database sizes means that database management systems (DBMSs) now operate with a lower memory to storage size ratio than before. On the other hand, modern DBMSs rely on in-memory search trees (e.g., indexes and filters) to achieve high throughput and low latency. These search trees, however, consume a large portion of the total memory available to the DBMS. This dissertation seeks to address the challenge of building compact yet... Read More

You wouldn't run your application on the cloud because it is the cool thing to do. You'd run it there because it makes sense to do so. In this talk you'll hear why some of our customers have moved to the cloud while others have not. You'll also learn how we overhauled Vertica's architecture to become one of the few analytics databases to take advantage of cloud economics. Things like separation of storage and compute, elasticity, fast node replacement, and more.... Read More
