Dirichlet Process Mixture Models made Scalable and Effective by means of Massive Distribution
Résumé
Clustering with accurate results have become a topic of high interest.Dirichlet Process Mixture (DPM) is a model used for clustering withthe advantage of discovering the number of clusters automaticallyand offering nice properties like,e.g., its potential convergence tothe actual clusters in the data. These advantages come at the priceof prohibitive response times, which impairs its adoption and makescentralized DPM approaches inefficient. We propose DC-DPM, aparallel clustering solution that gracefully scales to millions of datapoints while remaining DPM compliant, which is the challenge ofdistributing this process. Our experiments, on both synthetic andreal world data, illustrate the high performance of our approach onmillions of data points. The centralized algorithm does not scale andhas its limit on 100K data points, where it needs more than 7 hours.In this case, our approach needs less than 30 seconds.
