| Abstract | Big Data allied to the Internet of Things nowadays provides a powerful resource that various organizations are increasingly exploiting for applications ranging from decision support, predictive and prescriptive analytics, to knowledge extraction and intelligence discovery. In analytics and data mining processes, it is usually desirable to have as much data as possible, though it is often more important that the data is of high quality thereby two of the most important problems are raised when handling large datasets: sampling and feature selection. This paper addresses the sampling problem and presents a heuristic method to find the "critical sampling" of big datasets. The concept of the critical sampling size of a dataset D is that there is a minimum number of samples of D that is required for a given data analytic task to achieve satisfactory performance. The problem is very important in data mining, as the size of data sets directly relates to the cost of executing the data mining task. Since the problem of determining the critical sampling size is intractable, in this paper we study heuristic methods to find the critical sampling. Several datasets were used to conduct experiments using three versions of the heuristic sampling method for evaluation. Preliminary results obtained have shown the existence of an apparent critical sampling size for all the datasets being tested, which is generally much smaller than the size of the whole dataset. Further, the proposed heuristic method provides a practical solution to find a useful critical sampling for data mining tasks. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
