The Fifth Elephant is India’s most renowned data science conference. It is a space for discussing some of the most cutting edge developments in the fields of machine learning, data science and technology that powers data collection and analysis.
Machine Learning, Distributed and Parallel Computing, and High-performance Computing continue to be the themes for this year’s edition of Fifth Elephant.
We are now accepting submissions for our next edition which will take place in Bangalore 28-29 July 2016.
#Tracks
We are looking for application level and tool-centric talks and tutorials on the following topics:
The deadline for submitting proposals is 30th April 2016
This year’s edition spans two days of hands-on workshops and conference. We are inviting proposals for:
Proposals will be filtered and shortlisted by an Editorial Panel. We urge you to add links to videos / slide decks when submitting proposals. This will help us understand your past speaking experience. Blurbs or blog posts covering the relevance of a particular problem statement and how it is tackled will help the Editorial Panel better judge your proposals.
We expect you to submit an outline of your proposed talk – either in the form of a mind map or a text document or draft slides within two weeks of submitting your proposal.
We will notify you about the status of your proposal within three weeks of submission.
Selected speakers must participate in one-two rounds of rehearsals before the conference. This is mandatory and helps you to prepare well for the conference.
There is only one speaker per session. Entry is free for selected speakers. As our budget is limited, we will prefer speakers from locations closer home, but will do our best to cover for anyone exceptional. HasGeek will provide a grant to cover part of your travel and accommodation in Bangalore. Grants are limited and made available to speakers delivering full sessions (40 minutes or longer).
HasGeek believes in open source as the binding force of our community. If you are describing a codebase for developers to work with, we’d like it to be available under a permissive open source licence. If your software is commercially licensed or available under a combination of commercial and restrictive open source licences (such as the various forms of the GPL), please consider picking up a sponsorship. We recognise that there are valid reasons for commercial licensing, but ask that you support us in return for giving you an audience. Your session will be marked on the schedule as a sponsored session.
##Venue
The Fifth Elephant will be held at the NIMHANS Convention Centre, Dairy Circle, Bangalore.

Analysis of terabyte data sets by heavy data processing are common tasks these days. A data structure is a particular way of organizing data in a computer so that it can be used efficiently. For Big Data, the computer changes to a cluster and also the way of organizing the data is distributed. The usage patterns are changing from being precise changes to being probabilistic. False positive matches are acceptable (with small error rates), false negatives are not. For rapidness, approximations are acceptable, with small percentage of precision.
There are few data structures used for practical results, for specific use-cases, with parameters based on expected data volume and required error probability which I call -- “The Big Data Structures”. This talk highlights on use-case based examples of these Big Data Structures.
All are use-cases with exising solution and improved solutions
