Yexi Jiang commented on HAMA-681:
---------------------------------

Hi,

I work in the same lab with Yu Lee, is it OK that I collaborate him to work on 
this issue?
If it is OK, we can fork the source code from github and conduct the 
implementation independent from the master repo.

>                 Key: HAMA-681
>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HAMA-681
>             Project: Hama
>          Issue Type: New Feature
>          Components: machine learning
>    Affects Versions: 0.5.0
>            Reporter: Christian Herta

> Implementation of a Multilayer Perceptron (Neural Network)
>  - Learning by Backpropagation 
>  - Distributed Learning
> The implementation should be the basis for the long range goals:
>  - more efficent learning (Adagrad, L-BFGS)
>  - High efficient distributed Learning
>  - Autoencoder - Sparse (denoising) Autoencoder
>  - Deep Learning
>

> Due to the overhead of Map-Reduce(MR) MR didn't seem to be the best strategy 
> to distribute the learning of MLPs.
> Therefore the current implementation of the MLP (see MAHOUT-976) should be 
> migrated to Hama. First all dependencies to Mahout (Matrix-Library) must be 
> removed to get a standalone MLP Implementation. Then the Hama BSP programming 
> model should be used to realize distributed learning.
> Different strategies of efficient synchronized weight updates has to be 
> evaluated.
