| Abstract | How can we scale-up logistic regression, or L1 regularized loss minimization in general, for Terabyte-scale data which do not fit in the memory? How to design the distributed algorithm efficiently? Although there exist two major algorithms for logistic regression, namely Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) and Stochastic Coordinate Descent (SCD), they face limitations in distributed environments. Distributed SGD enables data parallelism (i.e., different machines access different part of the input data), but it does not allow feature parallelism (i.e., different machines compute different subsets of the output), and thus the communication cost is high. On the other hand, Distributed SCD allows feature parallelism, but it does not allow data parallelism and thus is not suitable to work in distributed environments. In this paper we propose DF-DSCD (Data/Feature Distributed Stochastic Coordinate Descent), an efficient distributed algorithm for logistic regression, or L1 regularized loss minimization in general. DF-DSCD allows both data and feature parallelism. The benefits of DF-DSCD are (a) full utilization of the capabilities provided by modern distributing computing platforms like MapReduce to analyze web-scale data, and (b) independence of each machine in updating parameters with little communication cost. We prove the convergence of DF-DSCD both theoretically, and also show empirical evidence that it is scalable, handles very high-dimensional data with up to 29 millions of features, and converges 2.2 times faster than competitors. |

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.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
