Notes

• Dependendices : g++-4.9, gcc-4.9, cmake, libboost-all-dev, build-essential, libhdf5-serial-dev.
• git pull the dlib library in the home folder.
• Run ./utils/build.sh to build all the binaries.
• aws_server.ini stores all the information (such as datapath, saveResultsPath) required by the software.

Reproducibility

• All the figures can be generated in ipython notebooks in 'figure' folder.
• The figures are generated from experiments - stored in 'experiments' folder.
• The stored experiments for dense datasets can be reproduced using the following lines of code
  • K-nearest neigbhours : ./build/knn aws_server.ini start-index end-index (finds the k nearest points for points from start to end index)
  • K-means : ./build/kmeans aws_server.ini
  • Heirarchical: ./build/heirarchical aws_server.ini random-seed
  • Mutual Information Feature Selection: ./build/gasmmi aws_server.ini number-features sample-size random-seed
• The stored experiments for sparse datasets can be reproduced using the following lines of code
  • K-nearest neigbhours : ./build/knn10x aws_server.ini start-index end-index (finds the k nearest points for points from start to end index)
  • K-means : ./build/kmeans10x aws_server.ini
