BBDC

Berlin Big Data Center (Phase 2)

October 2018 – September 2021

This project was funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research on the basis of a decision by the German Bundestag

The Berlin Big Data Center (BBDC) was established in October 2014 to organize and intelligently process vast amounts of data through the merger of two fields: data management and machine learning. In addition, the BBDC explored data analysis languages/systems and scalable methods of machine learning with a focus on materials research, medicine, and information marketplaces. To highlight Big Data research in Berlin and to encourage networking and collaboration, the BBDC showroom was created.

For BBDC (Phase 2), the scalability of data (related to the number and diversity of data sources) and real-time processing of continuous data streams is explored. This requires a combination of signal processing, statistical, machine learning, and artificial intelligence applications.
