Feature selection in high-dimensional dataset using MapReduce

7 Sep 2017  ·  Claudio Reggiani, Yann-Aël Le Borgne, Gianluca Bontempi ·

This paper describes a distributed MapReduce implementation of the minimum Redundancy Maximum Relevance algorithm, a popular feature selection method in bioinformatics and network inference problems. The proposed approach handles both tall/narrow and wide/short datasets. We further provide an open source implementation based on Hadoop/Spark, and illustrate its scalability on datasets involving millions of observations or features.
