Big Data Analysis Group
The Big Data Analysis Group is a core research group in the State Key Laboratory of Software Development Environment, School of Computer Science and Engineering, Beihang University. Our research topics include spatiotemporal big data analysis and processing, crowd intelligence, crowdsourcing, federated learning, and privacy-preserving data analysis.
We design and develop big data algorithms and systems with both theoretical guarantees and practical usage.
  • [2019/12] Our MOOC Course "Algorithm Design and Analysis" was online!
  • [2019/12] Congratulations to Hao Cheng and Libin Wang on finishing their Masters!
  • [2019/12] Our paper "Federated LDA" was accepted by AAAI 2020.
  • [2019/11] Our paper on spatial crowdsourcing differential privacy was accepted ICDE 2020.
