Signal Processing and Networking for Big Data Applicataions

In this course, we plan to address the challenges from the management of the big data, through the lens of signal processing. It should be noted that the term signal processing here is not limited to the processing of the traditional analog or digital signals, but rather should be understood as a wide range of computational and/or analytical techniques for transformation and interpretation of information. Therefore this course will focus on various theories and techniques that help make sense of the Big Data, as well as their applications on various engineering domains, such as machine learning, networking, energy systems, and so on. There are three main objectives of writing this course. The first objective is to provide an introduction to the big data paradigm, from the signal processing perspective. The second objective is to introduce the key techniques to enable signal processing for big data in a comprehensive way. The third objective is to present the state-of-the-art big data applications. This will include classifications of the different schemes and the technical details in each scheme.
