A General Framework Of Large-Scale Convex Optimization Using Jensen Surrogates And Acceleration Techniques, Soysal Degirmenci
A General Framework Of Large-Scale Convex Optimization Using Jensen Surrogates And Acceleration Techniques, Soysal Degirmenci
McKelvey School of Engineering Theses & Dissertations
In a world where data rates are growing faster than computing power, algorithmic acceleration based on developments in mathematical optimization plays a crucial role in narrowing the gap between the two. As the scale of optimization problems in many fields is getting larger, we need faster optimization methods that not only work well in theory, but also work well in practice by exploiting underlying state-of-the-art computing technology.
In this document, we introduce a unified framework of large-scale convex optimization using Jensen surrogates, an iterative optimization method that has been used in different fields since the 1970s. After this general treatment, …

Feature Selection For Movie Recommendation, Zehra Çataltepe, Mahi̇ye Uluyağmur, Esengül Tayfur
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
TV users have an abundance of different movies they could choose from, and with the quantity and quality of data available both on user behavior and content, better recommenders are possible. In this paper, we evaluate and combine different content-based and collaborative recommendation methods for a Turkish movie recommendation system. Our recommendation methods can make use of user behavior, different types of content features, and other users' behavior to predict movie ratings. We gather different types of data on movies, such as the description, actors, directors, year, and genre. We use natural language processing methods to convert the Turkish movie …
A Mapreduce-Based Distributed Svm Algorithm For Binary Classification, Ferhat Özgür Çatak, Mehmet Erdal Balaban
A Mapreduce-Based Distributed Svm Algorithm For Binary Classification, Ferhat Özgür Çatak, Mehmet Erdal Balaban
Turkish Journal of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences
Although the support vector machine (SVM) algorithm has a high generalization property for classifying unseen examples after the training phase~and a small loss value, the algorithm is not suitable for real-life classification and regression problems. SVMs cannot solve hundreds of thousands of examples in a training dataset. In previous studies on distributed machine-learning algorithms, the SVM was trained in a costly and preconfigured computer environment. In this research, we present a MapReduce-based distributed parallel SVM training algorithm for binary classification problems. This work shows how to distribute optimization problems over cloud computing systems with the MapReduce technique. In the second …
