[jira] [Comment Edited] (HAMA-681) Multi Layer Perceptron

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-681?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13672793#comment-13672793 ]

Hi, Edward,

I have updated the patch by:

1. Add the Apache license header to each of the source file.
2. Format each of the source file with the hama formatter.

Note:
This version of MLP is the basic version, I will add more features if this one passes the review.

BTW, I have checked out hama from Apache svn repository. Since I don't have permission, I cannot create any branch.

> Implementation of a Multilayer Perceptron (Neural Network)
>  - Learning by Backpropagation 
>  - Distributed Learning
> The implementation should be the basis for the long range goals:
>  - more efficent learning (Adagrad, L-BFGS)
>  - High efficient distributed Learning
>  - Autoencoder - Sparse (denoising) Autoencoder
>  - Deep Learning
>  
> ---
> Due to the overhead of Map-Reduce(MR) MR didn't seem to be the best strategy to distribute the learning of MLPs.
> Therefore the current implementation of the MLP (see MAHOUT-976) should be migrated to Hama. First all dependencies to Mahout (Matrix-Library) must be removed to get a standalone MLP Implementation. Then the Hama BSP programming model should be used to realize distributed learning.
> Different strategies of efficient synchronized weight updates has to be evaluated.
