Call for Papers -

Applications which need to manage and process large scale graph data have become prominent in recent times. Social network analysis, semantic web, bioinformatics, cheminformatics, etc. are some examples for such application domains which deal with large graphs of millions and billions of vertices. Graph processing have attracted significant attention from High Performance Computing (HPC) community due to complexities involved with processing and storage of large graphs. Significant body of research have been conducted in recent times to address the void of large graph data mining. New programming models such as Pregel, graph processing frameworks such as Giraph, Hama, and libraries such as GraphLab, PBGL, ScaleGraph have been developed to address the need of software for high performance large graph processing. Furthermore, large scale distributed memory compute clusters, single shared memory high performance computers, heterogeneous hardware such as GPGPUs, FPGAs have been tested for carrying out large graph data processing tasks. These efforts have been bolstered by graph related benchmarking initiatives such as Graph 500, Green Graph 500, etc. Despite these significant research efforts, there exist significant issues and technical gaps which need to be solved in the area of high performance graph data mining. On the other hand in recent times we observe significant rise of the research conducted on the intersection of graph mining and machine learning. Rise of the deep learning techniques have brought machine learning to a new level.

High Performance Graph Data Mining and Machine Learning 2017 (HPGDML’17) workshop aims to provide a unified platform for discussing the latest state-of-the-art efforts conducted to address such research issues related to high performance large graph data mining and machine learning. HPGDML’17 will be held in conjunction with the IEEE International Conference on Data Mining (ICDM) 2017. The workshop will take place in the Roosevelt New Orleans, New Orleans, USA on November 18th 2017. We invite researchers from academia and industry who work in graph data mining and machine learning in high performance computing environments to submit their original (full/short) papers. Submissions will be peer reviewed in single-blinded manner and each submission will receive minimum three reviewer comments.
