Best Paper Award at ICPADS 2015! - We submitted "Algorithmic Acceleration of Parallel ALS for Collaborative Filtering: Speeding up Distributed Big Data Recommendation in Spark" (Winlaw, Hynes, Caterini, De Sterck). See http://arxiv.org/abs/1508.03110. Great teamwork: Anthony did the initial investigations as an undergraduate researcher, Manda did the detailed serial tests, and Mike did the distributed Spark implementation.  |
