Summary on Grant Application Form
There is now widespread recognition that it is possible to extract previously unknown knowledge from large datasets using machine learning techniques. As the use of machine learning for exploratory data analysis has increased, so have the sizes of the datasets they must face (Giga and Terabyte datasets are common place) and the sophistication of the algorithms themselves. For this reason there is a growing body of research concerned with the use of parallel computing for data mining. The aim of this project is to produce a super-computing data mining resource for use by the UK academic community which utilises a number of advanced machine learning and statistical algorithms for large datasets. In particular, a number of evolutionary computing-based algorithms and the ensemble machine approach will be used to exploit the large-scale parallelism possible in super-computing.
