• A Data-Driven University: How Computer Vision Facilitates ITMO’s Academic Processes

  With the start of the new academic year, ITMO University acquired a novel tool to evaluate the quality of the academic process. Now, a computer vision system involving over 200 cameras placed around campus can monitor the load of study rooms and recommend the most convenient study locations to students. The project is developed by the university’s Learning Analytics Center’s partly student-led team. What does the project involve? Discover in this article.

• ITMO University Proposes New Approach To Storing Big Data

  The term Big Data was first introduced by Clifford Lynch, Nature's editor, in 2008's special issue dedicated to the worldwide explosive growth of the quantity of information. Both then and now, science remains amongst the fields that produce most of the information; for instance, every year the Large Hadron Collider produces more than 15 petabytes of information, and NASA's servers host more than 37 petabytes on climate change only. And Big Data continues to grow - as of now, it has more and more applications in other fields, from marketing to urban science. Scientists from all over the world work on the mechanisms that will help increase the speed of data processing, as well as decrease their storage volume. ITMO scientists believe that a new way of organizing data storages can help solve these issues; lately, they've presented their new Exarch project. The new approach can double the speed of data processing, as well as allow to withdraw from using additional processing capacities. The research results were presented at the recent ICCBDC (International Conference on Cloud and Big Data Computing) 2017 in London.
