MEFASD-BD: Multi-objective evolutionary fuzzy algorithm for subgroup discovery in big data environments - A MapReduce solution

Nowadays, there is an incredible increase of data volumes around the world, with the Internet as one of the main actors in this scenario and a growth rate above 30GB/s. The treatment of this huge amount of information cannot be carried out through traditional data mining algorithms in an efficient way and it is necessary to adapt and design new algorithms towards distributed paradigms such as MapReduce. This situation is a challenge for the community, investigated under the widely known term of big data.
