ABOUT

Machine learning, AI and data analytics have become a major force of research progress in data mining and innovation across enterprises of all sizes. A lot of new platforms with increasingly more features for managing datasets have been proposed in recent years. Given that the datasets are frequently big, data mining is also related to the management of cloud and modern HPC clusters.

Quality assurance in machine learning, AI and data analytics is an important research and engineering challenge in today's data intensive computing. It can be directly related to the quality of data - poor quality data is predominant in many such systems. However, given the whole ecosystem surrounding the application of such approaches, quality assurance can also extend to many other aspects, such as the quality of the software implementing the approaches, of the services providing the approaches, of the management of data-intensive computing systems running the approaches, of the relevant resource and data management tools, of the handling of ethical concerns surrounding the use of the approaches, etc.
