Radoop: Hadoop extension for RapidMiner
data analytics, data mining, machine learning, Sep 2010 -
 |
Hadoop is an excellent tool for analyzing large data sets, but it lacks an easy-to-use graphical interface. RapidMiner is an excellent tool for data analytics, but its data size is limited by the memory available, and a single machine is often not enough to run the analyses on time. In this project, we combine the strengths of both projects and provide a RapidMiner extension for editing and running ETL, data analytics and machine learning processes over Hadoop. |
Mobile gestures
human-computer interaction, data mining, machine learning, July 2007 - May 2008
 |
Nowadays, we interact with mobile phones via 15-20 small buttons, which makes it extremely hard to reach certain functions. To write the word "hello" needs 15 button presses on an average mobile. We also need long keystrokes to find someone in the contact list with hundreds of names. Voice dialling has been available for many years, but it isn't reliable at noisy places, and we just don't feel confortable to talk to our phones when others are listening. More and more mobile phones appear with in-built accelerometers, which may provide a new user interface. |
Celebgraph
information visualization, May - June 2007
 |
There are vast amounts of unstructured data on the web that is hardly understandable for people and machines. Useful information can be obtained with data mining methods from these datasets, and visualization tools can make it easier to discover new relations. In this project, we were trying to visualize celebrities appearing on a Hungarian news portal.
A dataset like this holds a lot of information inside. Different groups, like sportsmen or members of political parties, can be distinguished. This way we can get a bird's eye view on the most important celebrities. |
