Spark is a framework for working with Big Data. In this chapter you'll cover some background about Spark and Machine Learning. You'll then find out how to connect to Spark using Python and load CSV data.

Introduction

Now that you are familiar with getting data into Spark, you'll move onto building two types of classification model: Decision Trees and Logistic Regression. You'll also find out about a few approaches to data preparation.

Data Preparation

Removing columns and rows

Column manipulation

Categorical columns

Assembling columns

Decision Tree

Train/test split

Build a Decision Tree

Evaluate the Decision Tree

Logistic Regression

Build a Logistic Regression model

Evaluate the Logistic Regression model

Turning Text into Tables

Punctuation, numbers and tokens

Stopwords and hashing

Training a spam classifier

Classification

Next you'll learn to create Linear Regression models. You'll also find out how to augment your data by engineering new predictors as well as a robust approach to selecting only the most relevant predictors.

Finally you'll learn how to make your models more efficient. You'll find out how to use pipelines to make your code clearer and easier to maintain. Then you'll use cross-validation to better test your models and select good model parameters. Finally you'll dabble in two types of ensemble model.

Spark is een krachtig, algemeen hulpmiddel voor het werken met Big Data. Spark regelt transparant de verdeling van rekentaken over een cluster. Dat maakt bewerkingen snel én zorgt ervoor dat jij je kunt richten op de analyse in plaats van op technische details. In deze cursus leer je hoe je data in Spark krijgt en ga je vervolgens in op drie fundamentele Machine Learning-algoritmen in Spark: lineaire regressie, logistische regressie/classifiers en het bouwen van pipelines. Onderweg analyseer je een grote gegevensset met vertraagde vluchten en spam-sms'jes. Met deze basis ben je klaar om de kracht van Spark te benutten en toe te passen in je eigen Machine Learning-projecten!
