DB Tsai created SPARK-4708: ------------------------------ Summary: k-mean runs two/three times faster with dense/sparse sample Key: SPARK-4708 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-4708 Project: Spark Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: DB Tsai
Note that the usage of `breezeSquaredDistance` in `org.apache.spark.mllib.util.MLUtils.fastSquaredDistance` is in the critical path, and breezeSquaredDistance is slow. We should replace it with our own implementation. Here is the benchmark against mnist8m dataset.
