3° Not enough
memory for mappers
Proposed Method
Curl-Remover
36
1° Issue - Too much data to be shuffled; one data pair per
cell/tree;
Our solution - Two-phase dimensionality reduction:
a) Serial feature selection in a tiny data sample (one reducer). Used to
speed-up processing only;
b) All mappers project data into a fixed subspace

attributes of sample

Removes the E - ⌈D2⌉ least relevant attributes, one at a time

their low resolution level
cells and the projected

Removes the E - ⌈D2⌉ least relevant attributes, one at a time

Proposed Method
Curl-Remover
High resolution cells
are never shuffled
Proposed Method
Curl-Remover
41
2° Issue - One data pass per irrelevant attribute;
Our solution – Stores/reads the tree level of highest
resolution, instead of the original data.
42
Removes the E - ⌈D2⌉ least relevant attributes, one at a time
in ascending order of relevance.
Rdb = cost to read dataset;
TWRtree = cost to transfer,
write and read the last tree
level in next reduce step;
If (Rdb > TWRtree)
then writes tree;

3° Issue - Not enough memory for mappers;
Our solution – Sorts data in mappers and reports “tree slices”

Conclusions
Accuracy - eliminates both linear and non-linear attribute correlations,
besides irrelevant attributes; 8% better than sPCA;
Scalability – linear scalability on the data size (theoretical analysis);
experiments with up to 1.1 billion points;
Unsupervised - it does not require the user to guess the number of attributes
to be removed neither requires a training set;
Semantics - it is a feature selection method, thus maintaining the semantics of
the attributes;
Generality - it suits for analytical tasks in general, and not only for
classification;
