Project Members Kaushal Mittal Abhishek Seth Amar Agrawal Scalable Decision Tree SPRINT
Problem Statement • Current decision tree implementation in Weka fails for large datasets. • Scalable implementation of decision trees in Weka. • Support for disk resident data.
Challenges • Instance class in Weka loads the entire training data in memory. • Multiple copies of the instance data made at several points during the training. • Other classes assume the existence of memory-resident instance data.
Changes in Weka • Extended the Instance class to support disk resident data. • Use of cache and random access files. • Changes to the Evaluation class to work with the new SInstance class.
Decision Tree Classifier • Design similar to Weka classifier J48. • SPRINT algorithm implemented. • Use of disk resident attribute lists. • Generates a binary classifier tree. • Uses Gini index as split criteria.
Results • Accuracy comparable to J48. • Glass 214 • J48 - 100% • Sprint – 91.667% • Adult • J48 – 83.3% • Sprint – 79.8 % • Execution time – More than default J48 for small data sets(IO). For large data sets, Weka fails.
