Apache Spark Deep Learning Cookbook

By: Ahmed Sherif, Amrith Ravindra

Overview of this book

Organizations these days need to integrate popular big data tools such as Apache Spark with highly efficient deep learning libraries if they’re looking to gain faster and more powerful insights from their data. With this book, you’ll discover over 80 recipes to help you train fast, enterprise-grade, deep learning models on Apache Spark. Each recipe addresses a specific problem, and offers a proven, best-practice solution to difficulties encountered while implementing various deep learning algorithms in a distributed environment. The book follows a systematic approach, featuring a balance of theory and tips with best practice solutions to assist you with training different types of neural networks such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and recurrent neural networks (RNNs). You’ll also have access to code written in TensorFlow and Keras that you can run on Spark to solve a variety of deep learning problems in computer vision and natural language processing (NLP), or tweak to tackle other problems encountered in deep learning. By the end of this book, you'll have the skills you need to train and deploy state-of-the-art deep learning models on Apache Spark.

Importing the necessary libraries


Before we begin, we require the following libraries and dependencies, which need to be imported into our Python environment. These libraries will make our tasks a lot easier, as they have readily available functions and models that can be used instead of doing that ourselves. This also makes the code more compact and readable.

Getting ready

The following libraries and dependencies will be required to create word vectors and plots and visualize the n-dimensional word vectors in a 2D space:

  • future
  • codecs
  • glob
  • multiprocessing
  • os
  • pprint
  • re
  • nltk
  • Word2Vec
  • sklearn
  • numpy
  • matplotlib
  • pandas
  • seaborn

How to do it...

The steps are as follows:

  1. Type the following commands into your Jupyter notebook to import all the required libraries:
from __future__ import absolute_import, division, print_function
import codecs
import glob
import logging
import multiprocessing
import os
import pprint
import re
import nltk
import gensim.models.word2vec as w2v
import sklearn.manifold
import numpy
as np
import...
