TLDR
This work shows that algorithms that fit the Statistical Query model can be written in a certain "summation form," which allows them to be easily parallelized on multicore computers and shows basically linear speedup with an increasing number of processors.Abstract:
We are at the beginning of the multicore era. Computers will have increasingly many cores (processors), but there is still no good programming framework for these architectures, and thus no simple and unified way for machine learning to take advantage of the potential speed up. In this paper, we develop a broadly applicable parallel programming method, one that is easily applied to many different learning algorithms. Our work is in distinct contrast to the tradition in machine learning of designing (often ingenious) ways to speed up a single algorithm at a time. Specifically, we show that algorithms that fit the Statistical Query model [15] can be written in a certain "summation form," which allows them to be easily parallelized on multicore computers. We adapt Google's map-reduce [7] paradigm to demonstrate this parallel speed up technique on a variety of learning algorithms including locally weighted linear regression (LWLR), k-means, logistic regression (LR), naive Bayes (NB), SVM, ICA, PCA, gaussian discriminant analysis (GDA), EM, and backpropagation (NN). Our experimental results show basically linear speedup with an increasing number of processors.read more

Speeding-up codon analysis on the cloud with local MapReduce aggregation
TL;DR: This work proposes local in-mapper aggregation (or simply local aggregation), a technique that helps reduce the intermediate data volume between mapper and reducer tasks in MR and experimentally evaluates its performance on Amazon Web Services, the Amazon cloud platform.

Botnet Fingerprinting: A Frequency Distributions Scheme for Lightweight Bot Detection
TL;DR: A bot detection technique named BotFP, for BotFingerPrinting, which acts by characterizing hosts behaviour with attribute frequency distribution signatures, and learning benign hosts and bots behaviours through either clustering or supervised Machine Learning (ML), and classifying new hosts either as bots or benign ones.

Learning representations by back-propagating errors
TL;DR: Back-propagation repeatedly adjusts the weights of the connections in the network so as to minimize a measure of the difference between the actual output vector of the net and the desired output vector, which helps to represent important features of the task domain.
