We live in a world where data is at the core of everything we do on a daily basis as enterprises, governments, research and service organizations, and individuals alike. Today, we generate and measure data at a much higher rate than conventional technologies can sustain.
This tipping point in information technology is often referred to as the era of “Big Data” or “Data Deluge.” At EPFL, we are investigating theoretical frameworks and experimental systems to enable data analytics, data management and information retrieval with the goal of enabling accurate, efficient, fast and robust handling of large scale data.
