MapReduce-based big data classification model using feature subset selection and hyperparameter tuned deep belief network

Abstract

In recent times, big data classification has become a hot research topic in various domains, such as healthcare, e-commerce, finance, etc. The inclusion of the feature selection process helps to improve the big data classification process and can be done by the use of metaheuristic optimization algorithms. This study focuses on the design of a big data classification model using chaotic pigeon inspired optimization (CPIO)-based feature selection with an optimal deep belief network (DBN) model. The proposed model is executed in the Hadoop MapReduce environment to manage big data. Initially, the CPIO algorithm is applied to select a useful subset of features. In addition, the Harris hawks optimization (HHO)-based DBN model is derived as a classifier to allocate appropriate class labels. The design of the HHO algorithm to tune the hyperparameters of the DBN model assists in boosting the classification performance. To examine the superiority of the presented technique, a series of simulations were performed, and the results were inspected under various dimensions. The resultant values highlighted the supremacy of the presented technique over the recent techniques.
