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.

Human activity recognition using the LSTM model


The Human Activity Recognition (HAR) database was built from the recordings of 30 study participants performing activities of daily living (ADL) while carrying a waist-mounted smartphone with embedded inertial sensors. The objective is to classify activities into one of the six activities performed.

Dataset description

The experiments have been carried out with a group of 30 volunteers within an age bracket of 19 - 48 years. Each person accomplished six activities, namely walking, walking upstairs, walking downstairs, sitting, standing, and laying by wearing a Samsung Galaxy S II smartphone on their waist. Using the accelerometer and gyroscope, the author captured 3-axial linear acceleration and 3-axial angular velocity at a constant rate of 50 Hz.

Only two sensors, that is, accelerometer and gyroscope, were used. The sensor signals were pre-processed by applying noise filters and then sampled in fixed-width sliding windows of 2.56 sec and 50...
