1. Background to the study:

The background of big data classification is deliberated in section 1 and section 2

depicts the literature review of the existing big data classification methods. In

section 3, the proposed method of big data classification is presented and section 4

discusses the results of the proposed method. Finally, section 5 concludes the

paper.

2. Statement of the problem

The need to solve the multimodal optimization objectives with highly complex
and non-linear constraints insist the researchers to work for developing better
optimizations that assure the global optimization solutions without any conflicting
constraints. Metaheuristics pave a way for multi-objective problems, which never
concludes with a single best solution instead, metaheuristics generate a set of
solutions for a better approximation. Moreover, most of the algorithms developed
based on the metaheuristics is suitable for single objective optimizations rather
than for the multi-objectives, and these existing algorithms convert the multi-
objectives as single objective with the help of weights. On the other hand, the
generation of solutions with better diversity is another challenge faced by the
existing metaheuristics. Additionally, the real-world issues, like uncertainty and
noise should not have impact on the algorithm as it should be robust to permit
inhomogeneity and should offer a good option for the decision-makers to go for
effective decision-making. Thus, metaheuristic algorithms contribute much to the
multi-objective global optimization. Keeping all these in mind, a novel
metaheuristic search algorithm, called as E-bat algorithm is developed. The
proposed E-Bat algorithm is the integration of the EWMA [22] with BA [2].

3. Aims and objectives

The main aim of the research is to establish a big data classification model using

an optimization algorithm. The big data classification is progressed using the

MapReduce framework that uses the proposed optimization algorithm, named

Exponential Bat (E-Bat) algorithm. The proposed algorithm is obtained by

integrating the EWMA with the BA. The big data that is obtained from the
 distributed sources is fed to the mapper phase that performs the feature selection

using the E-Bat algorithm. The effective feature extraction ensures the

classification of the data such that the classification accuracy is enhanced. The

selected features are fed to the reducer for data classification, and the reducer

utilizes the Neural Network (NN), which is trained using the proposed E-Bat

algorithm such that the data is classified as various classes.

12. Conclusion
The paper deals with the proposed big data classification that aimed at
meeting the raising demands of high volume, high velocity, high value,
high veracity, and huge variety. The big data classification is performed
using the MapReduce framework such that the data from the distributed
sources is handled parallel at the same time. The big data is analyzed by
the MapReduce framework to yield the classified results and the
processing is of two steps. The first step is feature extraction that extracts
the optimal features from the data using the proposed E-Bat algorithm in
the mappers. In contrary, the classification is performed in the reducers
that are provided with the NN. The optimal tuning of the weights of NN is
processed using the proposed EBatNN algorithm. The final output from
the MapReduce framework is the classified big data that forms the clusters
for the whole big data. The experimentation of the proposed big data
classification is performed using four standard databases taken from the
UCI machine learning Repository.
