Keith Wiley, University of Washington, talks about parallel distributed image stacking and mosaicing with Hadoop, and reports on his experience implementing a scalable image-processing pipeline for the SDSS database using Hadoop. This multi-Terabyte imaging dataset provides a good testbed for algorithm development since its scope and structure approximate future surveys. His pipeline performs two primary functions: stacking and mosaicing, in which multiple partially overlapping images are registered, integrated and stitched into a single overarching image. He discusses two implementations, with the latter prepending the Hadoop job with a SQL-based metadata query, thus eliminating the same files from consideration before running the MapReduce job.

Worldwide spam volumes this year are forecast to rise by 30% to 40% compared with 2009. Spam recently reached a record 92% of total email. Spammers have turned their attention to social media sites as well. In 2008, there were few Facebook phishing messages; Facebook is now the second most phished organization online. Even though Twitter has managed to recently bring its spam rate down to as low as 1%, the absolute volume of spam is still massive given its tens of millions of users. Dealing with spam introduces a number of Big Data challenges. The sheer size and scale of the data is enormous. In addition, spam in social media involves the need to understand very complex patterns of behavior as well as to identify new types of spam. This presentation discusses how data analytics built on Hadoop can help businesses keep spam from spiraling out of control.

A set-similarity join (SSJ) finds pairs of set-based records such that each pair is similar enough based on a similarity function and a threshold. Many applications require efficient SSJ solutions, such as record linkage and plagiarism detection. This talk studies how to efficiently perform SSJs on large data sets using Hadoop. It proposes a 3-stage approach to the problem, to efficiently partition the data across nodes to balance the workload and minimize the need for replication. It reports results from extensive experiments on real datasets, synthetically increased in size, to evaluate the speedup and scaleup properties of the proposed algorithms using Hadoop.

Hadoop is a powerful platform for data analysis and processing, but many struggle to understand how it fits in with regard to existing infrastructure and systems. A series of common integration points, technologies, and patterns are defined and illustrated in this presentation. Eric Sammer looks at job initiation, sequencing and scheduling, data input from various sources (e.g., DBMS, messaging systems), and data output to various sinks (DBMS, messaging systems, caching systems). You will see how integration patterns and best practices can be applied to Hadoop and its related projects. This talk is focused on the suitability and architecture of these integration patterns. Care is taken to not duplicate talks on specific tools that are likely to be covered by other talks.

One of the most interesting problems we work on at Yahoo! is to provide the most relevant content to our users. This involves being able to track what are the interests of our users; mining the ever-changing content pool to see what is relevant, popular for our users. There is also content normalizing and de-duping issues to avoid redundancy. To solve all these problems, we make extensive use of Hadoop technology stack in our systems. Using Hadoop, we are able to scale to build models for millions of items, and users in near-real time. We leverage HBase for point lookups/stores of these models. We also use Pig for phrasing our workflows so the map-reduce parallelism is abstracted out of core processing.

Cascalog is an interactive query language for Hadoop with a focus on simplicity, expressiveness, and flexibility intended to be used by Analysts and Developers alike. Cascalog eschews the SQL syntax for a simpler and more expressive syntax based on Datalog. With this added expressiveness, Cascalog can query existing data stores "out of the box" with no data "importing" or "under the hood" configuration necessary. Because Cascalog sits on top of Clojure, a powerful JVM based language and interactive shell, adding new operations to a query is as simple as defining a new function. Cascalog relies on Cascading, a robust data-processing API, for defining and running workflows.

The MapReduce framework is now a de facto standard for massive dataset computations. However, many of the elementary graph algorithms are inherently sequential and appear to be hard to parallelize (often requiring number of rounds proportional to the diameter of the graph). In this talk, Sergei Vassilvitskii, Yahoo! Labs, describes a different approach, called filtering, to implementing fundamental graph algorithms, like computing connected components and minimum spanning trees. He notes that filtering can also be applied to speed up general clustering algorithms like k-means. Finally, he describes how to apply the technique to find tight-knit friend groups in a social network.

Over the next few years Biometric databases for the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Department of State (DoS), Department of Defense (DoD) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) are expected to grow to accommodate hundreds of millions, if not billions, of identities. As these biometric systems grow, distributed computing platforms such as Hadoop/MapReduce may be a feasible solution to this potential problem. This presentation outlines the magnitude of the problem, and evaluates algorithms and solutions using Hadoop and MapReduce. Open source biometric algorithms include BOZORTH3 (fingerprint matching) and IrisCode (Iris Scan matching), and how they can be optimized for deployment over Hadoop/MapReduce are also discussed.

In fact, if you want to learn more about Yahoo!'s real leadership in cloud technologies, you'll be interested in the upcoming Hadoop Summit. It takes place in Santa Clara, CA, on June 29, and you can register now.
We've been updating the YQL console with new tweaks and features for the last few months, and a bigger change just this week. In this screencast Paul Donnelly from the YQL team takes us through a few of these changes.
The Yahoo! Query Language is an expressive SQL-like language that lets you query, filter, and join data across Web services. With YQL, applications run faster with fewer lines of code and a smaller network footprint. With YQL, developers can access and shape data across the Internet through one simple language, eliminating the need to learn how to call different APIs. This talk, by Jonathan Trevor, covered YQL and delved into some recently released capabilities.

85% of all data stored is unstructured and this amount doubles every 3 months; 80% of this data also contains a form of geo term or reference. Geocoding, assigning a longitude and latitude to a geo term will allow you to show a location on a map but it won't enable to determine any further information about a place; its neighbours, parents, children or other relationships. You don't need to geocode, you need to geoparse, using a system that knows that Paris Hilton isn't the Hilton in Paris, that London, Londra and Londres are all the same place and that knows which of the 23 places called London or the 36 places called Paris you mean. Join Gary Gale, as he shows you how to do all of this with Placemaker. (slides)
