Extending the Growing Hierarchical Self Organizing Maps for a Large Mixed-Attribute Dataset Using Spark MapReduce

In this thesis work, we propose a Map-Reduce variant of the Growing Hierarchical Self Organizing Map (GHSOM) called MR-GHSOM, which is capable of handling mixed attribute datasets of massive size. The Self Organizing Map (SOM) has proved to be a useful unsupervised data analysis algorithm. It projec...
