MLI: An API for Distributed Machine Learning
MLI is an Application Programming Interface designed to address the
challenges of building Machine Learn- ing algorithms in a distributed setting
based on data-centric computing. Its primary goal is to simplify the
development of high-performance, scalable, distributed algorithms. Our initial
results show that, relative to existing systems, this interface can be used to
build distributed implementations of a wide variety of common Machine Learning
algorithms with minimal complexity and highly competitive performance and
scalability
Scalable and interpretable product recommendations via overlapping co-clustering
We consider the problem of generating interpretable recommendations by
identifying overlapping co-clusters of clients and products, based only on
positive or implicit feedback. Our approach is applicable on very large
datasets because it exhibits almost linear complexity in the input examples and
the number of co-clusters. We show, both on real industrial data and on
publicly available datasets, that the recommendation accuracy of our algorithm
is competitive to that of state-of-art matrix factorization techniques. In
addition, our technique has the advantage of offering recommendations that are
textually and visually interpretable. Finally, we examine how to implement our
technique efficiently on Graphical Processing Units (GPUs).Comment: In IEEE International Conference on Data Engineering (ICDE) 201
