Description
Summary:The machine learning algorithms like Projection Based Learning algorithm in Meta-cognitive Radial Basis Function Network (PBL-McRBFN) look up to human brain in attempts to make its computation more efficient. However, the performance of this algorithm is limited by the nature of sequential learning. In this project we bring Big Data-era technology Apache Spark cluster computing platform to use with this algorithm in an attempt to achieve collaborative distributed learning. Amidst the various difficulties, the project achieved a partial success while discovering other potential issues in using Spark to achieve the goal.
