Automatic Selection of Analytic Platforms with ASAP-DM

Abstract

The plethora of available analytic platforms escalates the difficulty of selecting the most appropriate platform for a certain data mining task and datasets with varying characteristics. Especially novice analysts experience difficulties to keep up with the latest technical developments. In this demo, we present the ASAP-DM framework. ASAP-DM is able to automatically select a well-performing analytic platform for a given data mining task via an intuitive web interface, thus especially supporting novice analysts. The take-aways for demo attendees are: (1) a good understanding of the challenges of various data mining workloads, dataset characteristics, and the effects on the selection of analytic platforms, (2) useful insights on how ASAP-DM internally works, and (3) how to benefit from ASAP-DM for exploratory data analysis.
