Abstract

Knowledge discovery from large acoustic images is a computationally intensive task. The data-mining step in the knowledge discovery process that involves unsupervised learning (clustering) consumes the bulk of the computation. We have developed a technique that allows us to partition the data, distribute it to different processors for training, and train a single system to join the results of the independent categorizers. We report preliminary results using this approach for knowledge discovery with large acoustic images having more than 10, 000 training instances.
