Compressed communication in Distributed Deep Learning – A Systems perspective
Speaker: Prof. Panos Kalnis, (KAUST) Google Scholar 2020, Feb. 6, 12pm @ UniPi Conference hall (central building, ground floor) Abstract: Network communication is a major bottleneck in large-scale distributed deep learning. To minimize the problem, many compressed communication schemes, in the form of quantization or sparsification, have been proposed. We investigate them from the Computer Systems perspective, under real-life deployments. We identify discrepancies between the theoretical proposals and the actual implementations, and analyze the impact on convergence. We also develop a general framework for compressed communication that supports both TensorFlow and PyTorch, and employ it to implement many existing schemes. We provide a thorough quantitative evaluation over real models and datasets. We demonstrate the effect of the various overheads, such as the computational cost of compression/decompression, on throughput. Finally, we…

Track & Know presented at annual EU Big Data Value Forum in Helsinki
Prof. Yannis Theodoridis and Dr Ibad Kureshi represented the Track & Know project at this years EU Big Data Value Forum, held from 14th to 16th October in Helsinki, Finland. The Track & Know project was showcased once again as a top five success story during the Best Success Story and I-Space Label 2019 Ceremony session. Track & Know was also present at the Big Data Value Association booth. This opportunity was used to create new clustering and liaison activities with other Big Data PPP and BDVA related projects. More to come on these activities soon! #EU #horizon2020 #project #innovation - website
Copernicus Hackathon in Athens 2019
The Copernicus Hackathon in Athens is back! Friday, November 8, 2019 2:00 PM & Saturday, November 9, 2019, Corallia - Monumental Plaza, Building C (5th Floor), Leoforos Kifisias 44 151 25 Marousi - website - Abstract: Following last year's success, the Copernicus Hackathon returns to Athens for a 2019 edition, on 8-9 November. For one more time the Athens CopHack will give you the chance to meet people that share the same interest with you on the ways Space Technologies can be used to explore a multitude of application fields on Earth. Together with other enthusiastic people you will get free access to Copernicus space data, DIAS services and support from mentors and the option to follow several business and technical workshops. Participation is for free.
