Practical Machine Learning with Spark: Uncover Apache Spark's Scalable Performance with High-Quality Algorithms Across NLP, Computer Vision and ML

This book provides the reader with an up-to-date explanation of Machine Learning and an in-depth, comprehensive, and straightforward understanding of the architectural techniques used to evaluate and anticipate the futuristic insights of data using Apache Spark.

The book walks readers by setting up Hadoop and Spark installations on-premises, Docker, and AWS. Readers will learn about Spark MLib and how to utilize it in supervised and unsupervised machine learning scenarios. With the help of Spark, some of the most prominent technologies, such as natural language processing and computer vision, are evaluated and demonstrated in a realistic setting. Using the capabilities of Apache Spark, this book discusses the fundamental components that underlie each of these natural language processing, computer vision, and machine learning technologies, as well as how you can incorporate these technologies into your business processes.

Towards the end of the book, readers will learn about several deep learning frameworks, such as TensorFlow and PyTorch. Readers will also learn to execute distributed processing of deep learning problems using the Spark programming language.
