Mapping Big Data into Knowledge Space with Cognitive Cyber-Infrastructure
Big data research has attracted great attention in science, technology,
industry and society. It is developing with the evolving scientific paradigm,
the fourth industrial revolution, and the transformational innovation of
technologies. However, its nature and fundamental challenge have not been
recognized, and its own methodology has not been formed. This paper explores
and answers the following questions: What is big data? What are the basic
methods for representing, managing and analyzing big data? What is the
relationship between big data and knowledge? Can we find a mapping from big
data into knowledge space? What kind of infrastructure is required to support
not only big data management and analysis but also knowledge discovery, sharing
and management? What is the relationship between big data and science paradigm?
What is the nature and fundamental challenge of big data computing? A
multi-dimensional perspective is presented toward a methodology of big data
computing.Comment: 59 page

Deep learning systems as complex networks
Thanks to the availability of large scale digital datasets and massive
amounts of computational power, deep learning algorithms can learn
representations of data by exploiting multiple levels of abstraction. These
machine learning methods have greatly improved the state-of-the-art in many
challenging cognitive tasks, such as visual object recognition, speech
processing, natural language understanding and automatic translation. In
particular, one class of deep learning models, known as deep belief networks,
can discover intricate statistical structure in large data sets in a completely
unsupervised fashion, by learning a generative model of the data using
Hebbian-like learning mechanisms. Although these self-organizing systems can be
conveniently formalized within the framework of statistical mechanics, their
internal functioning remains opaque, because their emergent dynamics cannot be
solved analytically. In this article we propose to study deep belief networks
using techniques commonly employed in the study of complex networks, in order
to gain some insights into the structural and functional properties of the
computational graph resulting from the learning process.Comment: 20 pages, 9 figure
