DROP: Dimensionality Reduction Optimization for Time Series
Dimensionality reduction is a critical step in scaling machine learning
pipelines. Principal component analysis (PCA) is a standard tool for
dimensionality reduction, but performing PCA over a full dataset can be
prohibitively expensive. As a result, theoretical work has studied the
effectiveness of iterative, stochastic PCA methods that operate over data
samples. However, termination conditions for stochastic PCA either execute for
a predetermined number of iterations, or until convergence of the solution,
frequently sampling too many or too few datapoints for end-to-end runtime
improvements. We show how accounting for downstream analytics operations during
DR via PCA allows stochastic methods to efficiently terminate after operating
over small (e.g., 1%) subsamples of input data, reducing whole workload
runtime. Leveraging this, we propose DROP, a DR optimizer that enables speedups
of up to 5x over Singular-Value-Decomposition-based PCA techniques, and exceeds
conventional approaches like FFT and PAA by up to 16x in end-to-end workloads
A quick search method for audio signals based on a piecewise linear representation of feature trajectories
This paper presents a new method for a quick similarity-based search through
long unlabeled audio streams to detect and locate audio clips provided by
users. The method involves feature-dimension reduction based on a piecewise
linear representation of a sequential feature trajectory extracted from a long
audio stream. Two techniques enable us to obtain a piecewise linear
representation: the dynamic segmentation of feature trajectories and the
segment-based Karhunen-L\'{o}eve (KL) transform. The proposed search method
guarantees the same search results as the search method without the proposed
feature-dimension reduction method in principle. Experiment results indicate
significant improvements in search speed. For example the proposed method
reduced the total search time to approximately 1/12 that of previous methods
and detected queries in approximately 0.3 seconds from a 200-hour audio
database.Comment: 20 pages, to appear in IEEE Transactions on Audio, Speech and

DRSP : Dimension Reduction For Similarity Matching And Pruning Of Time Series Data Streams
Similarity matching and join of time series data streams has gained a lot of
relevance in today's world that has large streaming data. This process finds
wide scale application in the areas of location tracking, sensor networks,
object positioning and monitoring to name a few. However, as the size of the
data stream increases, the cost involved to retain all the data in order to aid
the process of similarity matching also increases. We develop a novel framework
to addresses the following objectives. Firstly, Dimension reduction is
performed in the preprocessing stage, where large stream data is segmented and
reduced into a compact representation such that it retains all the crucial
information by a technique called Multi-level Segment Means (MSM). This reduces
the space complexity associated with the storage of large time-series data
streams. Secondly, it incorporates effective Similarity Matching technique to
analyze if the new data objects are symmetric to the existing data stream. And
finally, the Pruning Technique that filters out the pseudo data object pairs
and join only the relevant pairs. The computational cost for MSM is O(l*ni) and
the cost for pruning is O(DRF*wsize*d), where DRF is the Dimension Reduction
Factor. We have performed exhaustive experimental trials to show that the
proposed framework is both efficient and competent in comparison with earlier
works.Comment: 20 pages,8 figures, 6 Table
HD-Index: Pushing the Scalability-Accuracy Boundary for Approximate kNN Search in High-Dimensional Spaces
Nearest neighbor searching of large databases in high-dimensional spaces is
inherently difficult due to the curse of dimensionality. A flavor of
approximation is, therefore, necessary to practically solve the problem of
nearest neighbor search. In this paper, we propose a novel yet simple indexing
scheme, HD-Index, to solve the problem of approximate k-nearest neighbor
queries in massive high-dimensional databases. HD-Index consists of a set of
novel hierarchical structures called RDB-trees built on Hilbert keys of
database objects. The leaves of the RDB-trees store distances of database
objects to reference objects, thereby allowing efficient pruning using distance
filters. In addition to triangular inequality, we also use Ptolemaic inequality
to produce better lower bounds. Experiments on massive (up to billion scale)
high-dimensional (up to 1000+) datasets show that HD-Index is effective,
efficient, and scalable.Comment: PVLDB 11(8):906-919, 201
Learning multi-view neighborhood preserving projections
We address the problem of metric learning for multi-view data, namely the construction of embedding projections from data in different representations into a shared feature space, such that the Euclidean distance in this space provides a meaningful within-view as well as between-view similarity. Our motivation stems from the problem of cross-media retrieval tasks, where the availability of a joint Euclidean distance function is a prerequisite to allow fast, in particular hashing-based, nearest neighbor queries. We formulate an objective function that expresses the intuitive concept that matching samples are mapped closely together in the output space, whereas non-matching samples are pushed apart, no matter in which view they are available. The resulting optimization problem is not convex, but it can be decomposed explicitly into a convex and a concave part, thereby allowing efficient optimization using the convex-concave procedure. Experiments on an image retrieval task show that nearest-neighbor based cross-view retrieval is indeed possible, and the proposed technique improves the retrieval accuracy over baseline techniques
