<strong>IEEE STUDENT BRANCH JAWAHARLAL NEHRU UNIVERSITY</strong> a Special lecture on <strong>Anomaly Detection in Big Data</strong> By <strong>Mr. Chandresh Kumar Maurya</strong> Research Scholar at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India <strong>Abstract :</strong> Anomaly detection is an important data mining, machine learning task. The main focus in anomaly detection is to discover unusual patterns in the data. With the advent of Big Data many new challenges are emerging in this field, which need to be addressed by the next generation of the anomaly detection algorithms. Anomalies are of various kind such as point anomaly, contextual anomaly, subsequence anomaly etc. In this talk speaker will focus on point anomalies in Big Data. A point anomaly is a point of usually high or low value with respect to other instances. A point anomaly usually appears as a rare event and it can be modeled via class-imbalance learning approach. In this talk he will show how we can solve this class-imbalance learning problem from Cost Sensitive Learning based method in a distributed and large scale sparse learning setting. <strong>Brief Biography: </strong>Mr. Chandresh Kumar Maurya is a Ph.D. student at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India. He will be joining IBM Research at Bangalore starting from Jan 2017 as Post Doc fellow. He completed his Master's degree from JNU, New Delhi in 2012 and Bachelor's degree from BIET Jhansi in 2010. He is recipient of Prime Minister's Fellowship for Doctoral Research, awarded by Confederation of Indian Industries and Robert Bosch, Bangalore. His paper on anomaly detection accepted in ICML 2016 workshop. He won the Best Poster paper award at Xerox Research Center India (XRCI Open 2016) and Interned at Microsoft India (R&amp;D), Bangalore and Research &amp; Technology Center (RTC), Robert Bosch, Bangalore, India, in 2014.

A warm welcome to the modified and updated website of the Centre for East Asian Studies. The East Asian region has been at the forefront of several path-breaking changes since 1970s beginning with the redefining the development architecture with its State-led development model besides emerging as a major region in the global politics and a key hub of the sophisticated technologies. The Centre is one of the thirteen Centres of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi that provides a holistic understanding of the region.

Initially, established as a Centre for Chinese and Japanese Studies, it subsequently grew to include Korean Studies as well. At present there are eight faculty members in the Centre. Several distinguished faculty who have now retired include the late Prof. Gargi Dutt, Prof. P.A.N. Murthy, Prof. G.P. Deshpande, Dr. Nranarayan Das, Prof. R.R. Krishnan and Prof. K.V. Kesavan. Besides, Dr. Madhu Bhalla served at the Centre in Chinese Studies Programme during 1994-2006. In addition, Ms. Kamlesh Jain and Dr. M. M. Kunju served the Centre as the Documentation Officers in Chinese and Japanese Studies respectively.

The academic curriculum covers both modern and contemporary facets of East Asia as each scholar specializes in an area of his/her interest in the region. The integrated course involves two semesters of classes at the M. Phil programme and a dissertation for the M. Phil and a thesis for Ph. D programme respectively. The central objective is to impart an interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of history, foreign policy, government and politics, society and culture and political economy of the respective areas. Students can explore new and emerging themes such as East Asian regionalism, the evolving East Asian Community, the rise of China, resurgence of Japan and the prospects for reunification of the Korean peninsula. Additionally, the Centre lays great emphasis on the building of language skills. The background of scholars includes mostly from the social science disciplines; History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, International Relations and language.

Several students of the centre have been recipients of prestigious research fellowships awarded by Japan Foundation, Mombusho (Ministry of Education, Government of Japan), Saburo Okita Memorial Fellowship, Nippon Foundation, Korea Foundation, Nehru Memorial Fellowship, and Fellowship from the Chinese and Taiwanese Governments. Besides, students from Japan receive fellowship from the Indian Council of Cultural Relations.
