Key benefits

Get to the grips with the latest version of Apache Spark

Utilize Spark's machine learning library to implement predictive analytics

Leverage Spark’s powerful tools to load, analyze, clean, and transform your data

Description

This book will teach you about popular machine learning algorithms and their implementation. You will learn how various machine learning concepts are implemented in the context of Spark ML. You will start by installing Spark in a single and multinode cluster. Next you'll see how to execute Scala and Python based programs for Spark ML. Then we will take a few datasets and go deeper into clustering, classification, and regression. Toward the end, we will also cover text processing using Spark ML. Once you have learned the concepts, they can be applied to implement algorithms in either green-field implementations or to migrate existing systems to this new platform. You can migrate from Mahout or Scikit to use Spark ML. By the end of this book, you will acquire the skills to leverage Spark's features to create your own scalable machine learning applications and power a modern data-driven business.

What you will learn

* Get hands-on with the latest version of Spark ML

* Create your first Spark program with Scala and Python

* Set up and configure a development environment for Spark on your own computer, as well as on Amazon EC2

* Access public machine learning datasets and use Spark to load, process, clean, and transform data

* Use Spark s machine learning library to implement programs by utilizing well-known machine learning models

* Deal with large-scale text data, including feature extraction and using text data as input to your machine learning models

* Write Spark functions to evaluate the performance of your machine learning models

Perfect book for someone who is just starting his adventure with Spark and Machine Learning. The author has very didactic approach that guides the reader step by step from understanding first the basics, installing the environment, implementing and training models, evaluating, etc. I strongly recommend this book.

This book is a nice introduction to using the Apache Spark framework. It assumes no prior knowledge of either Hadoop, Spark or machine learning itself (although the latter is covered at quite a rapid pace in places so some background would likely be helpful!). The code examples are presented in Python and (mainly) Scala, with examples that are reasonably well-described.The overall tone of the book is clear and the chapters progress in a logical order, with a fairly rapid journey through the main machine learning techniques from a Spark perspective. Later chapters were particularly interesting, covering text mining and more complex methods (e.g. feature hashing).Some of the example data sets feel a little 'tired' (movie ratings data yet again - or perhaps I've just read too many machine learning books), but otherwise this is a good book and comes recommended.

This book gives a great introduction to using the Apache Spark framework, a goto for anyone who wishes to learn how to use Apache Spark framework. It assumes no prior knowledge of either Hadoop or Spark. The code examples are presented in Python and Scala are well-described.The overall the book is clearly structured and the chapters progress in a logical order, with a fairly rapid introduction to machine learning techniques from a Spark perspective.I definitely do recommend this book for beginners.
