Machine Learning with Spark - Second Edition

By: Rajdeep Dua, Manpreet Singh Ghotra

Overview of this book

This book will teach you about popular machine learning algorithms and their implementation. You will learn how various machine learning concepts are implemented in the context of Spark ML. You will start by installing Spark in a single and multinode cluster. Next you'll see how to execute Scala and Python based programs for Spark ML. Then we will take a few datasets and go deeper into clustering, classification, and regression. Toward the end, we will also cover text processing using Spark ML. Once you have learned the concepts, they can be applied to implement algorithms in either green-field implementations or to migrate existing systems to this new platform. You can migrate from Mahout or Scikit to use Spark ML. By the end of this book, you will acquire the skills to leverage Spark's features to create your own scalable machine learning applications and power a modern data-driven business.

Text classification with Spark 2.0

In this section, we will use the libsvm version of 20newsgroup data to use the Spark DataFrame-based APIs to classify the text documents. In the current version of Spark libsvm version 3.22 is supported (https://www.csie.ntu.edu.tw/~cjlin/libsvmtools/datasets/)

Download the libsvm formatted data from the following link and copy output folder under Spark-2.0.x.
