A method, a system, and a computer program product implements traffic shaping by processing as a synchronous request, tasks representing one or more units of work contained within the request. Before a request is sent through the network, the request is inspected in order to derive the amount of work that the request would generate in the network. A traffic manager queries the amount of work in that request compared to the amount of work that the network can support and generates a number of traffic envelopes. Based on the results of this query, “task pruning” may be implemented to break the request into smaller manageable task that fit into the traffic envelopes. Task pruning may also enable only a subset of the work to be performed. Thus, a measure of the amount of work, rather than the amount of data, within a request is considered when scheduling the request.

The present invention provides, among other things, automatic identification of near-redundant units in a large TTS voice table, identifying which units are distinctive enough to keep and which units are sufficiently redundant to discard. According to an aspect of the invention, pruning is treated as a clustering problem in a suitable feature space. All instances of a given unit (e.g. word or characters expressed as Unicode strings) are mapped onto the feature space, and cluster units in that space using a suitable similarity measure. Since all units in a given cluster are, by construction, closely related from the point of view of the measure used, they are suitably redundant and can be replaced by a single instance. The disclosed method can detect near-redundancy in TTS units in a completely unsupervised manner, based on an original feature extraction and clustering strategy. Each unit can be processed in parallel, and the algorithm is totally scalable, with a pruning factor determinable by a user through the near-redundancy criterion. In an exemplary implementation, a matrix-style modal analysis via Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) is performed on the matrix of the observed instances for the given word unit, resulting in each row of the matrix associated with a feature vector, which can then be clustered using an appropriate closeness measure. Pruning results by mapping each instance to the centroid of its cluster.

A method and system for generating a decision-tree classifier from a training set of records, independent of the system memory size. The method includes the steps of: generating an attribute list for each attribute of the records, sorting the attribute lists for numeric attributes, and generating a decision tree by repeatedly partitioning the records using the attribute lists. For each node, split points are evaluated to determine the best split test for partitioning the records at the node. Preferably, a gini index and class histograms are used in determining the best splits. The gini index indicates how well a split point separates the records while the class histograms reflect the class distribution of the records at the node. Also, a hash table is built as the attribute list of the split attribute is divided among the child nodes, which is then used for splitting the remaining attribute lists of the node. The method reduces I / O read time by combining the read for partitioning the records at a node with the read required for determining the best split test for the child nodes. Further, it requires writes of the records only at one out of n levels of the decision tree where n> / =2. Finally, a novel data layout on disk minimizes disk seek time. The I / O optimizations work in a general environment for hierarchical data partitioning. They also work in a multi-processor environment. After the generation of the decision tree, any prior art pruning methods may be used for pruning the tree.
