Robert Metzger updated FLINK-1537:
----------------------------------
Component/s: Machine Learning Library
> GSoC project: Machine learning with Apache Flink
> ------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: FLINK-1537
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1537
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Machine Learning Library
> Reporter: Till Rohrmann
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: gsoc2015, java, machine_learning, scala
>
> Currently, the Flink community is setting up the infrastructure for a machine
> learning library for Flink. The goal is to provide a set of highly optimized
> ML algorithms and to offer a high level linear algebra abstraction to easily
> do data pre- and post-processing. By defining a set of commonly used data
> structures on which the algorithms work it will be possible to define complex
> processing pipelines.
> The Mahout DSL constitutes a good fit to be used as the linear algebra
> language in Flink. It has to be evaluated which means have to be provided to
> allow an easy transition between the high level abstraction and the optimized
> algorithms.
> The machine learning library offers multiple starting points for a GSoC
> project. Amongst others, the following projects are conceivable.
> * Extension of Flink's machine learning library by additional ML algorithms
> ** Stochastic gradient descent
> ** Distributed dual coordinate ascent
> ** SVM
> ** Gaussian mixture EM
> ** DecisionTrees
> ** ...
> * Integration of Flink with the Mahout DSL to support a high level linear
> algebra abstraction
> * Integration of H2O with Flink to benefit from H2O's sophisticated machine
> learning algorithms
> * Implementation of a parameter server like distributed global state storage
> facility for Flink. This also includes the extension of Flink to support
> asynchronous iterations and update messages.
> Own ideas for a possible contribution on the field of the machine learning
> library are highly welcome.
