Softwarekonferenz für parallele, nebenläufige
und asynchrone Programmierung und HPC
Heidelberg, Print Media Academy, 6.-8. März 2018

// Train Arrival Prediction Using Machine Learning on Big Data Clusters

The talk will present a solution that T-Systems has created for Deutsche Bahn to improve the passenger information by predicting the arrival of trains in real time based on the trains' current positions.

It will be shown, how classical statistical machine learning approaches can be combined with artificial neural networks to solve the problem. The solution is designed in a way that it can scale horizontally based on an Hadoop based HPC platform.

Vorkenntnisse
Fundamental understanding of distributed computing, Fundamantals of statistics

Lernziele
The participant should understand how parallel computing can be applied to real word, real-time problems using scalable approaches.
