Joseph K. Bradley commented on SPARK-5021: ------------------------------------------ It should be similar to GLMs: Take an RDD of Vectors. Inside GaussianMixture, you can match-case on Vector to see if it is Dense or Sparse and handle as needed. > GaussianMixtureEM should be faster for SparseVector input > --------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: SPARK-5021 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SPARK-5021 > Project: Spark > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: MLlib > Affects Versions: 1.3.0 > Reporter: Joseph K. Bradley > Assignee: Manoj Kumar > > GaussianMixtureEM currently converts everything to dense vectors. It would > be nice if it were faster for SparseVectors (running in time linear in the > number of non-zero values). > However, this may not be too important since clustering should rarely be done > in high dimensions. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: issues-unsubscr...@spark.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: issues-h...@spark.apache.org
