报告摘要(Abstract)：

The world is undergoing a data revolution. Emerging big data and ML applications are harnessing massive volumes of data to uncover hidden patterns, correlations, and other valuable insights, transforming information and knowledge production. As the data volume keeps growing explosively, these applications require high-performance big data and ML systems to efficiently transfer, store, and process data at a massive scale.

In this talk, I advocate an application-oriented principle to design big data and ML systems: fully exploiting application-specific structures — communication patterns, execution dependencies, ML model structures, etc. — to suit application-specific performance demands. I will present how I have developed the application-oriented principle throughout my PhD-Postdoc-Faculty research, and how I have applied it to build systems tailored for different big data and ML applications.
