Data-Driven Solutions
• Physics is „simple‟: f = ma; E=mc2
• Human behavior is much more complex
– Which ad will they click?
– Is a behavior fraudulent? Why?
• Don‟t look for complex models that try to discover general rules
– The size of the dataset is the most important factor
– Simple models (n-gram, linear classifiers) with Big Data
• A. Halevy, P. Norvig, and F. Pereira. The unreasonable effectiveness of
data. IEEE Intelligent Systems, 24(2):8-12, 2009.

The Algorithms Are Less Important
© 2014 MapR Technologies 8
Focus on the Data
• Most algorithms come down to counting and simple math
• Invest your time where you can make a difference
– Getting more data can improve results by 2x
• eg, add beacons everywhere to instrument user behavior
– Tweaking an ML algorithm will yield a fraction of 1%
• Data wrangling
– Feature engineering
– Moving data around
– …
© 2014 MapR Technologies 9
Obtaining Big Training Data
• Can‟t really rely on experts to label the data
– Doesn‟t scale (not enough experts out there)
– Too expensive
• So how do you get the training data?
– Crowdsourcing
– Implicit feedback
• “Obvious” features
• User engagement

Using Crowdsourcing for Annotation
R. Snow, B. O'Connor, D. Jurafsky, and A. Ng. Cheap and fast –
but is it good? Evaluating non-expert annotations for natural
language tasks. EMNLP, 2008.
Quantity: $2 for 7000 annotations
(leveraging Amazon Mechanical
Turk and a “flat world”)
Quality: 4 non-experts = 1 expert

Leveraging Implicit Feedback
• Users behavior provides valuable training data
• Google adjusts search rankings based on engagement
– Did the user click on the result?
– Did the user come back to the search page within seconds?
• Most recommendation algorithms are based solely on user activity
– What products did they view/buy?
– What ads did they click on?
• T. Joachims, L. Granka, B. Pan, H. Hembrooke, F. Radlinski, and G.
Gay. Evaluating the accuracy of implicit feedback from clicks and query
reformulations in Web search. ACM TOIS, 25(2):1, 2007.

Increasing Exploration
We need to find ways to
increase exploration to
broaden our learning
Exploration of the second page
Can‟t learn much
about results on
page 2, 3 or 4!

Result Dithering
• Dithering is used to re-order recommendation results
– Re-ordering is done randomly
• Dithering is guaranteed to make off-line performance worse
• Dithering also has a near perfect record of making actual
performance much better
– “Made more difference than any other change”
© 2014 MapR Technologies 15
Simple Dithering Algorithm
• Generate synthetic score from log rank plus Gaussian
• Pick noise scale to provide desired level of mixing
• Typically:
• Oh… use floor(t/T) as seed so results don‟t change too often
s = logr + N(0,e)

Recommendations with Mahout and Solr
© 2014 MapR Technologies 19
What is Recommendation?
The behavior of a crowd helps us understand what individuals will do…
© 2014 MapR Technologies 20
Batch and Real-Time
• We can learn about the relationship between items every X hours
– These relationships don‟t change often
– People who buy Nikon D7100 cameras also buy a Nikon EN-EL15 battery
• What to recommend to Bob has to be determined in real-time
– Bob may be a new user with no history
– Bob is shopping for a camera right now, but he was buying a baby bottle an
hour ago
• How do we do that?
– Mahout for the heavy number crunching
– Solr/Elasticsearch for the real-time recommendations

That one row from indicator matrix becomes
the indicator field in the Solr document used
to deploy the recommendation engine.
Note: Data for the indicator field is added directly to meta-data for a document

Toolbox for Predictive Analytics with Hadoop
• Mahout
– Use it for Recommendations, Clustering, Math
• Vowpal Wabbit
– Use it for Classification (but it‟s harder to use)
• SkyTree
– Commercial (not open source) implementation
of common algorithms
© 2014 MapR Technologies 34
Operational Considerations
• Snapshot your raw data before training
– Reproducible process
– MapR snapshots
• Leverage NFS for real-time data ingestion
– Train the model on today‟s data
– Learning schedule independent from ingestion schedule
• Look for HA, data protection, disaster recovery
– Predictive analytics increases revenue or reduces cost
– Quickly becomes a must-have, not a nice-to-have

Common Patterns for Hadoop and
Analytics
42
Quick Tour of R
• R is an interpreted language
• Open-source implementation of the S language (1976)
• Best suited for statistical analysis and modeling
• Data exploration and manipulation
• Descriptive statistics
• Predictive analytics and machine learning
• Visualization
• +++
• Can produce “publication quality graphics”
• Emerging as a competitor to proprietary platforms
43
R is hot!... but
• Quite lean as far as software goes
• Free!
• State of the art algorithms
• Statistical researchers often
provide their methods as R
packages
• New techniques available
without delay
• Commercial packages usually
behind the curve
• 4700+ packages as of today
• Active and vibrant user
community
• Universities are teaching R
• IT shops are adopting R
• Companies are integrating R into
their products
• R jobs and demand for R skills on
the rise
Unfortunately R is not built for Big
Data
Working with large datasets is
limited by RAM
44
R and Big Data: Various
approaches• R + Hadoop streaming
• Use R as a scripting language
• Write map/reduce jobs in R
• Or Python for mappers, and R for the reducers
• R + open-source packages for Hadoop
• RHadoop
• RMR2: Write low-level map/reduce with API in R
• RHBase and RHDFS: Simple R API over Hadoop capabilities
• RHipe
• R + SparkR + Hadoop
• R frontend to Spark in memory structure and data from Hadoop
• R + High Level Languages
• JaQL<->R “bridge”
• R interfaces over non-R engines
• ScalaR from Revolution R
• Oracle’s ORE, Netezza’s NZR, Teradata’s teradataR, +++
45
RHadoop Example
Given a table describing flight information for every airline spanning
several decades:
“Carrier”, “Year”, “Month”, “Day”, “DepDelay”, …
What’s the mean departure delay (“DepDelay”)
for each airline for each month?
46
RHadoop Example (contd.)
Map Reduce
key =
c(Carrier, Year, Mo
nth)
value = DepDelay
key =
c(Carrier, Year, Mo
nth)
value =
vector(DepDelay)
key = NULL
value = vector (columns
in a line)
key =
c(Carrier, Year, Mo
nth)
value =
mean(DepDelay)
Shuffle
47
RHadoop Example (contd.)
csvtextinputformat = function(line) keyval(NULL, unlist(strsplit(line, ",")))
deptdelay = function (input, output) {
mapreduce(input = input,
output = output,
textinputformat = csvtextinputformat,
map = function(k, fields) {
# Skip header lines and bad records:
if (!(identical(fields[[1]], "Year")) & length(fields) == 29) {
deptDelay <- fields[[16]]
# Skip records where departure dalay is "NA":
if (!(identical(deptDelay, "NA"))) {
# field[9] is carrier, field[1] is year, field[2] is month:
keyval(c(fields[[9]], fields[[1]], fields[[2]]), deptDelay)}}},
reduce = function(keySplit, vv) {
keyval(keySplit[[2]], c(keySplit[[3]], length(vv), keySplit[[1]], mean(as.numeric(vv))))})}
from.dfs(deptdelay("/data/airline/1987.csv", "/dept-delay-month"))

Explore, visualize, transform, model Hadoop data with
R
• Represent Big Data objects as R datatypes
• R's programming syntax and paradigm
• Data stays in HDFS
• R classes (e.g. bigr.data.frame) as proxies
• No low-level map/reduce constructs
• No underlying scripting languages
1
# Construct a bigr.frame to access large data set
air <- bigr.frame(dataPath="airline_demo.csv", …)
# How many flights were flown by United or Delta?
length(UniqueCarrier[UniqueCarrier %in% c("UA", "DL")])
# Filter all flights that were delayed by 15+ minutes at departure or arrival.
airSubset <- air[air$Cancelled == 0 & (air$DepDelay >= 15 | air$ArrDelay >= 15),
c("UniqueCarrier", "Origin", "Dest", "DepDelay", "ArrDelay")]
# For these filtered flights, compute key statistics (# of flights,
# average flying distance and flying time), grouped by airline
summary(count(UniqueCarrier) + mean(Distance) + mean(CRSElapsedTime) ~
UniqueCarrier, dataset = airSubset)
Bigr.boxplot(air$Distance ~ air$UniqueCarrier, …)
54
Scale out R in Hadoop
• Support parallel / partitioned execution of R
• Work around R’s memory limitations
• Execute R snippets on chunks of data
• Partitioned by key, by #rows, via sampling, …
• Follows R’s “apply” model
• Parallelized seamlessly Map/Reduce engine
2
# Filter the airline data on United and Hawaiian
bf <- air[air$UniqueCarrier %in% c("HA", "UA"),]
# Build one decision-tree model per airliner
models <- groupApply(data = bf, groupingColumns = list(bf$UniqueCarrier),
rfunction = function(df) { library(rpart)
predcols <- c('ArrDelay', 'DepDelay', 'DepTime'', 'Distance')
return (rpart(ArrDelay ~ ., df[,predcols]))})
# Pull the model for HA to the client
modelHA <- bigr.pull(models$HA)
# Visualize the model

gate-to-gate time, and actual airtime for each city pair per
year?

}
}
reducer.year.market.enroute_time = function(key, val.list) {

(4 lines of code)
air <- bigr.frame(dataPath = "airline.csv", dataSource = “DEL", na.string="NA")
air$City1 <- ifelse(air$Origin < air$Dest, air$Origin, air$Dest)
air$City2 <- ifelse(air$Origin >= air$Dest, air$Origin, air$Dest)
summary(count(UniqueCarrier) + mean(ActualElapsedTime) +
mean(CRSElapsedTime) + mean(AirTime) ~ Year + City1 + City2 ,
dataset = air[air$Cancelled == 0 & air$Diverted == 0,])
58
Use Cases
• Where Big R works well
• When data can be partitioned cleanly ...
• ... and each partition fits in the memory of a server node
• In other words:
• size of entire data can be bigger than cluster memory
• size of individual partitions limited to node memory (due to R)
• Real-world customer scenarios we’ve seen:
• Model data from individual tractors
• Build time-series anomaly detection on IP address pairs
• Build models on each customer’s behavior
• And where it doesn’t ...
• When building one monolithic model on the entire data
• without sampling
• Without use some form of blending such as ensembles
59
Large scale analytics in Hadoop
• Some workloads are not logically partitionable, or partitions are still large
• SystemML - a scalable engine running natively over Hadoop:
• Deliver pre-built ML algorithms
• Regression, Classification, Clustering, etc.
• Ability to author new algorithms
3
# Build a model on the entire data set
model <- bigr.lm(ArrDelay ~ ., df)
# Or, build several models, partitioned by airline
models <- groupApply(
input = air,
groupBy = air$UniqueCarrier,
function(df) {
# Linear regression
model <- bigr.lm(ArrDelay ~ ., df)
return (model)
})

Summary - Popular R Analytics on
Hadoop
• R is the preferred language for Data
Scientists
• Many approaches exist to enable R
on Hadoop with pros and cons
• “Big R” approach:
• Data exploration, statistical analysis and
Visualization with natural R syntax
• Scale out R with data partitioning
• Support for standard R tools and
existing packages and libraries
• SystemML engine for Distributed
Machine Learning that provides canned
algorithms, and an ability to author new
ones, all via R-like syntax
