Abstract: In machine learning, clustering is recognized as widely used task to find hidden structure of data. While handling the massive amount of data, the traditional clustering algorithm degrades in performance due to size and mixed type of at-tributes. The Removal Dependency on K and Initial Centroid Selection (REDIC) algorithm is designed to handle mixed data with frequency based dissimilarity measurement for categorical attributes. The selection of initial centroids and prior decision for number of cluster improves the efficiency of REDIC algorithm. To deal with the large scale data, the REDIC algorithm is migrated to Map Reduce paradigm,and Map Reduce based REDIC( MR-REDIC) algorithm is proposed. The large amount of data is divided into small chunks and parallel approach is used to reduce the execution time of algorithm.The proposed algorithm inherits the feature of REDIC algorithm to cluster the data.The algorithm is implemented in Hadoop environment with three different configuration and evaluated using five bench mark data sets. Experimental results show that the Speed up value of data is gradually shifting towards linear by increasing number of data nodes from one to four. The algorithm also achieves the near to closer value for Scale up parameter, while maintaining the accuracy of algorithm.

Keywords: Machine learning; clustering; similarity measure-ment; initial centroid selection; number of clusters; map reduce paradigm
