Big Data Classification using Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor

Abstract

becomes troublesome to perform effective analysis using the current traditional techniques. Big data put forward a lot of challenges due to its several characteristics like volume, velocity, variety, variability, value and complexity. Today there is not only a necessity for efficient data mining techniques to process large volume of data but in addition a need for a means to meet the computational requirements to process such huge volume of data. The objective of this paper is to classify big data using Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor classifier, and to provide a comparative study between the results of the proposed systems and the method reviewed in the literature. In this paper we implemented the Fuzzy KNearest Neighbor method using the MapReduce paradigm to process on big data. Results on different data sets show that the proposed Fuzzy K-Nearest Neighbor method outperforms a better performance than the method reviewed in the literature.
