  • Accuracy versus cost in distributed data mining

    Creator:
    Deutschman, Stephanie
    Abstract:
    A basic tradeoff to consider when designing a distributed data-mining framework is the need for a compromise between the cost of communication and computation resources and the accuracy of the mining results. This is essentially a decision of whether it is more efficient to communicate all of the data to...
