Scala Machine Learning Projects

Overview of this book

Machine learning has had a huge impact on academia and industry by turning data into actionable information. Scala has seen a steady rise in adoption over the past few years, especially in the fields of data science and analytics. This book is for data scientists, data engineers, and deep learning enthusiasts who have a background in complex numerical computing and want to know more hands-on machine learning application development. If you're well versed in machine learning concepts and want to expand your knowledge by delving into the practical implementation of these concepts using the power of Scala, then this book is what you need! Through 11 end-to-end projects, you will be acquainted with popular machine learning libraries such as Spark ML, H2O, DeepLearning4j, and MXNet. At the end, you will be able to use numerical computing and functional programming to carry out complex numerical tasks to develop, build, and deploy research or commercial projects in a production-ready environment.

Client subscription assessment through telemarketing

Some time ago, due to the global financial crisis, getting credit in international markets became more restricted for banks. This turned attention to internal customers and their deposits to gather funds. This led to a demand for information about a client's behavior for their deposits and their response to telemarketing campaigns conducted by the banks periodically. Often, more than one contact to the same client is required in order to assess whether the product (bank term deposit) will be (yes) or will be (no) subscribed.

The aim of this project is to implement an ML model that predicts that the client will subscribe to a term deposit (variable y). In short, this is a binary classification problem. Now, before we start implementing our application, we need to know about the dataset. Then we will see an explanatory analysis of the dataset.
