RAZOR: A Compression and Classification Solution for the Internet of Things

Blog Article

The Internet of Things is expected to increase the amount of data produced and exchanged in the network, due to the huge number of smart objects that will interact with one another.The related information management and transmission costs are increasing and becoming an almost unbearable Stove Fan Cover Clip burden, due to the unprecedented number of data sources and the intrinsic vastness and variety of the datasets.In this paper, we propose RAZOR, a novel lightweight algorithm for data compression and classification, which is expected to alleviate both aspects by leveraging the advantages offered by data mining methods for optimizing communications and by enhancing information transmission to simplify data classification.In particular, RAZOR leverages the concept of motifs, recurrent features used for signal categorization, in order to compress data streams: in such a way, it is possible to achieve compression levels of up to an order of magnitude, while maintaining the signal distortion within acceptable bounds and allowing for simple lightweight distributed classification.In addition, RAZOR is designed to keep the computational complexity low, kids accessories in order to allow its implementation in the most constrained devices.

The paper provides results about the algorithm configuration and a performance comparison against state-of-the-art signal processing techniques.
