An Energy-Efficient Kernel Framework for Large-Scale Data Modeling and Classification

Energy-efficient computing has now become a key challenge not only for data-center operations, but also for many other energy-driven systems, with the focus on reducing of all energy-related costs, and operational expenses, as well as its corresponding and environmental impacts. Intelligent machine-learning systems are typically performance driven. For instance, most non-parametric model-free approaches are often known to require high computational cost in order to find the global optima. Designing more accurate machine-learning systems to satisfy the market needs will hence lead to a higher likelihood of energy waste due to the increased computational cost. This paper thus introduces an energy-efficient framework for large-scale data modeling and classification. It can achieve a test error comparable to or better than the state-of-the-art machine-learning models, while at the same time, maintaining a low computational cost when dealing with large-scale data. The effectiveness of the proposed approaches has been demonstrated by our experiments with two large-scale KDD datasets: Mtv-1 and Mtv-2.
