Map-Reduce for large scale
similarity computation
LECTURE 2
…from last lecture
 How to convert entities into high-dimensional
numerical vectors
 How to compute similarity between two vectors.
 For example, is x and y are two vectors then
x.y
sim(x, y) 
x y
..from last lecture
 Example:
 X = (1,2,3) ; Y= (3,2,1)
 ||X|| = (1+4+9) = 140.5 = 3.74
 ||Y|| = ||X||
 Sim(X,Y) = (1.3 + 2.2 + 3.1)/(3.742 ) = 10/14 = 5/7
 We also learnt that for large data sets computing pair-wise
similarity can be very time consuming.
Map-Reduce
 Map-Reduce has become a popular framework for
speeding up computations like pair-wise similarity
 Map-Reduce was popularized by Google and then
Yahoo! (through the Hadoop open-source
implementation)
 Map-Reduce is a programming model built on top of
“cluster computing”
Cluster Computing
 Put simple (commodity) machines together, each
with their own CPU, RAM and DISK, for parallel
computing

Map-Reduce
 Map-Reduce consists of two distinct entities
 Distributed File System (DFS)
 Library to implement Mapper and Reducer functions
 A DFS seamlessly manages files on the “cluster
computer.”


A file is broken into “chunks” and these chunks are replicated
across the nodes of a cluster.
If a node which contains chunk A fails, the system will re-start
the computation on a node which contains a copy of the chunk.
Distributed File System
 A DFS will “chunk” files and replicated them across
several nodes and then keep track of the chunks.
 Only practical when data is mostly read only (e.g.,
historical data; not for live data –like airline
reservation system).

Node 3,2,18

Node 2,6,7

Node failure
 When several nodes are in play the chances that a
single node goes down at any time goes up
significantly. ..
 Suppose they are n nodes and let p be the probability
that a single node will fail..



(1-p) that single node will not fail
(1-p)n that none of the nodes will fail
1 – (1-p)n that at least one will fail.
Node failure
 The probability that at least one node failing is:
f= 1 – (1-p)n
 When n =1; then f =p
 Suppose p=0.0001 but n=10000, then:
f = 1 – (1 -0.0001)10000 = 0.63 [why/how ?]
 This is one of the most important formulas to know (in
general).
Example: “Hello World” of MR
Docid Content
1
Silent mind , holy mind
2
road kill in Java
3
Java programming is fun
4
My mind in Java
5
Where the fun rolls
6
Silent road to Cairns
Task: Produce an output which, for each word in the file, counts
the number of times it appears in the file.
Answer: (Java, 3); (Silent, 2), (mind,3)……
Example
 For example
 {doc1, doc2}  machine 1
 {doc3,doc4}  machine 2
 {doc5,doc6}  machine 3
 Each chunk is also duplicated to other machines.
Example
 Now apply the MAP operation to each node and emit
the pair (key, 1).
 Thus doc1 emits:

(silent,1); (mind,1); (holy, 1); (mind,1)
 Similarly doc6 emits:
 (silent,1);(road,1); (to,1); (Cairns,1)
Example
 Note in the first chunk which contains (doc1,
doc2)..each doc emits (key,value) pairs.
 We can think that each computer node emits a list of
(key, value) pairs.
 Now this list is “grouped” so that the REDUCE
function can be applied.
Example
 Note now that the (key,value) pairs have no
connection with the docs…

(silent,1),(mind,1), (holy, 1), (mind,1), (road,1),(to,1),(Cairns,1);
(Java,1),(programming,1),(is,1),(fun,1),…….
 Now we have a hash function h:{a..z} {0,1}
 Basically two REDUCE nodes
 And (key,value) effectively become (key, list)
Example
 For example suppose the hash functions maps {to, Java,
road} to one node. Then



(to,1) remains (to,1)
(Java,1);(Java,1);(Java,1)  (Java, [1,1,1])
(road,1);(road,1)(road,[1,1]);
 Now REDUCE function converts

(Java,[1,1,1])  (Java,3) etc.
 Remember this is a very simple example…the challenge
is to take complex tasks and express them as Map and
Reduce!

The similarity join problem
 Last time we discussed about computing the pair-
wise similarity of all articles/documents in
Wikipedia.
 As we discussed it was time consuming problem
because if N is the number of documents, and d is
the length of each vector, then the running time
proportional to O(N2d).
 How can this problem be attacked using the Map
Reduce framework.
Similarity Join
 Assume we are given two documents (vectors) d1 and
d2. Then (ignoring the denominator)
sim(di ,d j ) 
w
t,d i
w t,d j
tdict
 Example:
 d1 = {silent mind to holy mind}; d2 = {silent road to cairns}
 sim(d1,d2) = 1silent,d11silent,d2 + 1to,d111to,d2 = 2

 Exploit the fact that a term (word) only contributes if
it belongs to at least two documents.
Similarity Example [2]
Notice, it requires some ingenuity to come up with key-value pairs. This is
key to suing map-reduce effectively
Amazon Map Reduce
 For this class we have received an educational grant
from Amazon to run exercises on their Map Reduce
servers.
 Terminology



EC2 – is the name of Amazon’s cluster
S3 – is the name of their storage machines
Elastic Map Reduce – is the name Amazon’s Hadoop
implementation of Map-Reduce
 Lets watch this video.
