Advanced Systems for Scalable Analytics (AA) bioMASON Inc interior and exterior façade tile made with biocement, which is less costly and more sustainable than its traditional counterpart Advanced Systems for Scalable Analytics (AA) The Advanced Systems for Scalable Analytics topic focuses on innovations needed for building systems that organize and process large and ever-increasing volumes of structured, semi-structured and unstructured data to reveal actionable new insights.

It also includes innovative knowledge management and data mining technologies that complement deep learning.

Sample topics include data and knowledge management technologies for data acquisition, integration, annotation, governance and provenance; hardware and software for addressing the performance needs of analytical systems; technologies for continual learning in dynamic environments; technologies in data mining, visualization and optimization; and marketplaces for data and models. These subtopics are only meant to serve as examples.

All proposals focused on the development of a new high-risk technical innovation and significant potential commercial and societal impact are welcome to apply, regardless of subtopic. AA1. Building Analytical System for Learning from Dynamic Environments AA2.
