Unlock Big Data Insights: Your Hands-On Journey with Spark MLlib for Scalable Data Science
Tired of machine learning models that can't handle big data? This book is your practical guide to building and deploying scalable machine learning solutions with Spark MLlib, the powerful analytics library for Apache Spark.
This hands-on guide walks you through the entire data science lifecycle, from data ingestion to model deployment, all within the distributed environment of Spark. We start by introducing you to the core concepts of Spark DataFrames and ML pipelines, providing a solid foundation for building efficient, end-to-end workflows. You'll learn how to perform essential data preparation at scale, including feature extraction and transformation, using Spark's built-in tools.
The book provides a comprehensive exploration of key machine learning algorithms, covering everything from classic classification and regression to advanced recommendation systems and clustering. You'll not only understand how these models work but also learn the best practices for training them on massive datasets. We emphasize practical, step-by-step examples that you can follow along with, ensuring you gain the skills needed to tackle real-world problems.
Beyond model training, this book focuses on critical, often overlooked aspects of big data machine learning. You will discover robust strategies for evaluating model performance, mastering techniques like cross-validation and hyperparameter tuning to ensure your models are reliable. The guide also covers essential topics like performance optimization, debugging with the Spark UI, and MLOps principles for seamless model deployment and management.
