Pervasive Software to Demonstrate High-Performance Recommender System at Predictive Analytics World
October 15 2009 - 8:00AM
Business Wire
Pervasive Software® Inc. (NASDAQ: PVSW), an emerging leader in
enabling next-generation data-intensive applications and data
analytics, announced today that it will be demonstrating its
recommender system at Predictive Analytics World (PAW) October
20-21 at the Hilton Alexandria Mark Center in Alexandria,
Virginia.
“One of the most interesting benchmarks today is the Netflix
dataset, with more than 100 million movie reviews created by more
than 480,000 users and covering a set of more than 17,000 movies,”
said Pervasive Innovation Labs Director Nena Marín, Ph.D. “In the
process of experimentation and research on parallel data mining, we
discovered compelling results with Pervasive DataRush. We ran a
k-means clustering algorithm on the entire Netflix dataset with
k=30 in just 17 seconds, and significantly, that was on a $2,500
commodity 8-core server. These experiments evolved into a robust,
high-performance, collaborative, filtering-based recommender
system, which we will demonstrate at Predictive Analytics
World.”
Srivatsava Daruru of the IDEAL Laboratory at The University of
Texas at Austin will also present joint research conducted with
Pervasive at the conference in a presentation titled, “Churn, Baby,
Churn: Fast Scoring on Large Telecom Dataset - KDD Cup 2009
Competition Results: Orange Labs (France Telecom).” Daruru’s
presentation, on October 20 at 4:55 p.m. in Walnut A/B, details
application of the dataflow computational model in the context of
data and computationally intensive high performance parallel data
mining. The Pervasive-University of Texas team created a scalable
and robust model capable of scoring "propensity-to-churn" at the
rate of 50,000 customers in a 1.6GB test set (Orange Labs France
Telecom, KDD Cup) in just three minutes on commodity 16-core CPUs,
yielding an effective scoring runtime of 3.6 milliseconds per
customer, orders of magnitude faster than many systems.
“Both within Pervasive and in joint efforts with partners and
with The University of Texas, we continue to deliver astounding
parallel data mining and predictive analytics performance using
Pervasive DataRush,” said Mike Hoskins, Pervasive CTO. “With
near-linear scaling for both dataset size and runtimes that others
in the industry can’t touch on widely available multicore servers,
Pervasive DataRush gives data miners and analytics experts the
opportunity to transform the effectiveness, efficiency and agility
of their applications and research.”
