Abstract: In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes receiving training data including a plurality of records, each record having a plurality of attributes. The training data is horizontally parallelized across two or more processing elements. This horizontal parallelizing includes dividing the training data into two or more subsets of records; assigning each subset of records to a corresponding processing element of the two or more processing elements; transmitting each subset of records to its assigned processing element; and sorting, at the two or more processing elements, the two or more subsets of records to two or more candidate leaves of a decision tree. The output from horizontally parallelizing is converted into input for vertically parallelizing the training data. The training data is vertically parallelized across the two or more processing elements. The decision tree is grown based at least in part on the horizontally parallelizing, the converting, and the vertically parallelizing.

Abstract: A travel reporter system is used to report abnormal travel events. In use, a sensor mounted on a vehicle obtains real-time data about an object near the vehicle. The object has an object type which is identified by processing the real-time data with an object recognition subsystem of the travel reporter system. An event evaluation subsystem of the travel reporter system processes the real-time data and the object type in order to determine that the object is associated with an abnormal travel event. The abnormal travel event has an event type which is processed by an event notification subsystem of the travel reporter system in order to select a first information consumer type. The event notification subsystem reports the abnormal travel event to information consumers having the first information consumer type.
