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.

Preparing the data

A number of data-preprocessing steps are to be performed before the data is fed into the model. This section will describe how to clean the data and prepare it so it can be fed into the model.

Getting ready

All the text from the .txt files is first converted into one big corpus. This is done by reading each sentence from each file and adding it to an empty corpus. A number of preprocessing steps are then executed to remove irregularities such as white spaces, spelling errors, stopwords, and so on. The cleaned text data has to then be tokenized, and the tokenized sentences are added to an empty array by running them through a loop.

How to do it...

The steps are as follows:

  1. Type in the following commands to search for the .txt files within the working directory and print the names of the files found:

book_names = sorted(glob.glob("./*.txt"))
print("Found books:")
book_names

In our case, there are five books named got1, got2, got3, got4, and got5 saved in the working directory....
