Big Data Mining and Analytics With MapReduce

Abstract

Big data and machine learning are driving Industry 4.0. In the current era of big data, numerous rich data sources are generating huge volumes of a wide variety of valuable data at a high velocity. Embedded in these big data are implicit, previously unknown, and potentially useful information and knowledge. This calls for data science, which makes good use of big data mining and analytics, machine learning, and related techniques to mine, analyze, and learn from the data to discover hidden gems. This may maximize the citizens' wealth and/or promote all society's health. As an important big data mining and analytics task, frequent pattern mining aims to discover interesting knowledge in the forms of frequently occurring sets of merchandise items or events. To mine them in a scalable manner, several algorithms have used the MapReduce model. This encyclopedia article focuses on MapReduce-based frequent pattern mining from big data.
