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.

Applying the logistic regression model


The stage is now set to apply the model to the dataframe.

Getting ready

This section will focus on applying a very common classification model called logistic regression, which will involve importing some of the following from Spark:

from pyspark.ml.feature import VectorAssembler
from pyspark.ml.evaluation import BinaryClassificationEvaluator
from pyspark.ml.classification import LogisticRegression

How to do it...

This section will walk through the steps of applying our model and evaluating the results.

  1. Execute the following script to lump all of the feature variables in the dataframe in a list called features:
features = df.columns[1:]
  1. Execute the following to import VectorAssembler and configure the fields that will be assigned to the feature vector by assigning the inputCols and outputCol:
from pyspark.ml.feature import VectorAssembler
feature_vectors = VectorAssembler(
    inputCols = features,
    outputCol = "features")
  1. Execute the following script to apply...
