1. Introduction

VLDB (Very Large Data Bases) Database School (China) was sponsored by VLDB

endowment, subordinated by China Computer Federation Technical Committee on

Database (CCF-TCDB). VLDB database school provides a forum for professors,

scholars and senior graduate students in database theory and technique research.

Famous database scientists in international database paradigm are invited to give

lectures during each summer vacation. From 2002, VLDB database summer school

has been successfully held in Soochow University, East China Normal University,

North East University, etc.

2012 VLDB summer school will be held in Yunnan University, Kunming, China, from

July 23 to July 27, 2012. We have invited Prof. Gerhard Weikum and Prof. Michael

Franklin as the lecturers of this summer school. Prof. Gerhard Weikum is a Scientific

Director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbruecken, Germany. Prof.

Michael Franklin is the Thomas M. Siebel Professor of Computer Science and

Director of the Algorithms, Machines, and People Laboratory (AMPLab) at UC

Berkeley. The topic of this summer school is “knowledge harvesting in big data”,

including the course of “Knowledge Harvesting from Text and Web Sources” given

by Prof. Gerhard Weikum and that of “Making Sense at Scale - Advances in Big Data

Analytics” given by Prof. Michael Franklin. Each of these two parts of courses will

cover about 2.5 days.

It is this year that Yunnan University will celebrate her birthday of 90 years old. It’s

our great pleasure to organize and honor this summer school exactly at this important

and commemorative time.

3. Lecturers

Prof. Gerhard Weikum

Course Title: Knowledge Harvesting from Text and Web Sources.

Course Abstract: The proliferation of knowledge- sharing communities such as Wikipedia and the progress in scalable information extraction from Web and text sources has enabled the automatic construction of very large knowledge bases. Recent endeavors of this kind include academic research projects such as DBpedia, KnowItAll, Probase, ReadTheWeb, and YAGO, as well as industrial ones such as Freebase and

Trueknowledge. These projects provide automatically constructed knowledge bases of facts about named entities, their semantic classes, and their mutual relationships. Such world knowledge in turn enables cognitive applications and knowledge-centric services like disambiguating natural-language text, deep question answering, and semantic search for entities and relations in Web and enterprise data. This course presents state-of-the-art methods, recent advances, research opportunities, and open challenges along this avenue of knowledge harvesting and its applications.

Biography: Gerhard Weikum is a Scientific Director at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbruecken, Germany, where he is leading the department on databases and information systems. He is also an Adjunct Professor at Saarland University, and a principal investigator of the DFG Cluster of Excellence on Multimodal Computing and Interaction. Earlier he held positions at Saarland University in Saarbruecken, Germany, at ETH Zurich, Switzerland, at MCC in Austin, Texas, and he was a visiting senior researcher at Microsoft Research in Redmond, Washington. He graduated from the University of Darmstadt, Germany.

Gerhard Weikum's research spans transactional and distributed systems, self-tuning database systems, DB&IR integration, and the automatic construction of knowledge bases from Web and text sources. He co-authored a comprehensive textbook on transactional systems, received the VLDB 10-Year Award for his work on automatic DB tuning, and is one of the creators of the YAGO knowledge base.

Gerhard Weikum is an ACM Fellow, a Fellow of the German Computer Society, and a member of the German Academy of Science and Engineering. He has served on various editorial boards, including ACM Transactions on Database Systems and Communications of the ACM, and as program committee chair of conferences like ACM SIGMOD, Data Engineering, and CIDR. From 2003 through 2009 he was president of the VLDB Endowment. He received the ACM SIGMOD Contributions Award in 2011.

Prof. Michael Franklin

Course Title: Making Sense at Scale - Advances in Big Data Analytics

Course Abstract: The analysis and understanding of data are becoming increasingly important to organizations of all types. As organizations collect more and more data, they require analytics systems that can scale with data volumes, but the challenge of "Big Data" analytics is more than simply one of data size. Rather, as the scope of data analysis widens, issues

such as data integration, data cleaning, and dealing with ambiguity and incompleteness in both queries and the underlying data are exacerbated. This combination of size and complexity make it difficult for users to obtain answers to their data-driven questions within their time, cost and quality constraints. In this set of lectures we will survey recent approaches to processing large volumes of data from both Relational Database and Systems perspectives. Topics include: Scalable Database Systems, Real-Time and Stream Query Processing, NoSQL Approaches, Flexible Data Integration, Architectures for Scalable Machine Learning and Crowdsourced Query Processing.

Biography: Michael Franklin is the Thomas M. Siebel Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Algorithms, Machines, and People Laboratory (AMPLab) at UC Berkeley. AMPLab is a cross-disciplinary collaboration integrating machine learning, large-scale cluster computing and crowdsourcing to develop new approaches to big data analytics, supported by 18 leading technology companies and a White House-announced NSF Expeditions in Computing Award.

His on-going research projects are in the areas of data stream processing and continuous analytics, scalable query processing, large-scale sensing environments, data integration, hybrid human/computer data processing systems, and cross-data center consistency protocols. He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery and recipient of the NSF CAREER award and the ACM SIGMOD "Test of Time" award.

His recent awards include a Best Paper award at NSDI 2012, Best Demo award at VLDB 2011 and the 2011 Outstanding Advisor Award from the Computer Science Graduate Student Association at Berkeley. He is currently serving as a committee member on the U.S. National Academy of Sciences study on Analysis of Massive Data. He was the founder and CTO of Truviso, Inc. a streaming data analytics company that was recently acquired by Cisco Systems to provide real-time analytics for Network Analytics and other data-in-motion applications.
