Query: Do we still need fuzzy classifiers for Small Data in the Era of Big
  Data?   The Era of Big Data has forced researchers to explore new distributed
solutions for building fuzzy classifiers, which often introduce approximation
errors or make strong assumptions to reduce computational and memory
requirements. As a result, Big Data classifiers might be expected to be
inferior to those designed for standard classification tasks (Small Data) in
terms of accuracy and model complexity. To our knowledge, however, there is no
empirical evidence to confirm such a conjecture yet. Here, we investigate the
extent to which state-of-the-art fuzzy classifiers for Big Data sacrifice
performance in favor of scalability. To this end, we carry out an empirical
study that compares these classifiers with some of the best performing
algorithms for Small Data. Assuming the latter were generally designed for
maximizing performance without considering scalability issues, the results of
this study provide some intuition around the tradeoff between performance and
scalability achieved by current Big Data solutions. Our findings show that,
although slightly inferior, Big Data classifiers are gradually catching up with
state-of-the-art classifiers for Small data, suggesting that a unified learning
algorithm for Big and Small Data might be possible.
