Abstract

Recent years, data-intensive computing has become a research hotspot. It also proposed a new challenge to traditional Bayesian inference methods. It is known that, traditional Bayesian inference methods could do a good job when all data stay in a single station. However, when come to data-intensive computing, it would hard to apply to new situation directly because data often been distributed in multi stations under data intensive computing. Among different Bayesian inference methods, random algorithm often been regarded as a common and effective one. And the sampling method adopted in random algorithm would largely influence the efficiency of this random algorithm. Gibbs sampling method often been used in random algorithm for Bayesian inference. Taking all of this into consideration, an improved Bayesian inference method for data-intensive computing is developed in this paper, which first use improved Gibbs sampling method in each station to gain the suitable information, then union them together to infer the final result. The validity of this method is discussed in theory and illustrated by experiment.
