Machine Learning at Scale using SparkML for Big Data

Wondering how to use machine learning at large scale? Join this curated workshop by our data science experts who will introduce Apache Spark to process a large amount of data and build different machine learning models using MLLib.

This workshop goes beyond building your expertise in applying different machine learning algorithms on huge data using MLLib. It focuses on how machine learning algorithms can be applied at scale to work on petabytes of data, to generate models used for predictions.

Prerequisites for the workshop:

Python programming experience
Basics of Machine Learning
Hands-on experience in pandas

Structure of the workshop

This is an 8-hour workshop and includes the following modules:

Introduction to Spark
Installing and setting up Spark
Spark API’s in Scala, Python, R
Basic syntax of Spark
Read, process, aggregate, write data
Modeling framework using MLLib
Different ML algorithms
Feature engineering
Evaluation metrics
Mini-hack
AMA
