An “unstructured event parser” analyzes an event that is in unstructured form and generates an event that is in structured form. A mapping phase determines, for a given event token, possible fields of the structured event schema to which the token could be mapped and the probabilities that the token should be mapped to those fields. Particular tokens are then mapped to particular fields of the structured event schema. By using the Naïve Bayesian probability model, a “probabilistic mapper” determines, for a particular token and a particular field, the probability that that token maps to that field. The probabilistic mapper can also be used in a “regular expression creator” that generates a regex that matches an unstructured event and a “parameter file creator” that helps a user create a parameter file for use with a parameterized normalized event generator to generate a normalized event based on an unstructured event.

The computational cost of many statistical modeling algorithms is affected by the input / output (I / O) cost of accessing out-of-core training data. This is an important challenge for emerging data mining applications, where the amount of training data can be potentially enormous. A heuristic approach to this problem is described. This approach is based on constructing a simple probability model from the large training data set, and using this model to generate simulated pseudo data for some aspects of the statistical modeling procedure. This approach is illustrated in the context of building a Naive Bayes probability model with feature selection. Here, the usual algorithms would require numerous data scans over the massive training data set, but our heuristic obtains models of comparable accuracy with just two data scans.
