ESTIMATING THE COST OF DATA-MINING SERVICES

摘要

The cost of data-mining is estimated where data-mining services are delivered via a distributed computing system environment. System requirements are estimated for a particular data-mining task for an input data set having specified properties. Estimating system requirements includes applying a partial learning tool to operate on sample data from the input data set.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
receiving a set of task parameters, the set of task parameters defining a target data set and a data-mining task; receiving a set of control values, the set of control values describing the data-mining task; receiving a set of data descriptors, the set of data descriptors describing the target data set; and estimating a set of computational resources required to perform the data-mining task over a distributed computing system based at least in part on the set of task parameters, the set of control values, the set of data descriptors, and an availability of the distributed computing system; wherein:
at least the estimating step is performed by computer software running on computer hardware.
