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.

Fine-tuning model parameters


There is always room for improvement in the accuracy of any model. In this section, we will talk about some of the parameters that can be tweaked to improve our model accuracy score of 87.5% obtained from the previous section.

Getting ready

This section does not require any new prerequisites. 

How to do it...

This section walks through the steps to fine-tune the model.

  1. Define a new logistic regression model with additional parameters for regParam and elasticNetParam as seen in the following script:
logregFT = LogisticRegression(
 regParam=0.05, 
 elasticNetParam=0.3,
 maxIter=15,labelCol = "label", featuresCol="features")
  1. Create a new pipeline configured for the newly created model using the following script:
pipelineFT = Pipeline(stages=[vectorizer, logregFT])
  1. Fit the pipeline to the trained dataset, trainDF, using the following script:
pipeline_model_FT = pipelineFT.fit(trainDF)
  1. Apply the model transformation to the test dataset, testDF, to be able to compare actual versus...
