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.

Topic modeling with Spark MLlib and Stanford NLP


In this subsection, we represent a semi-automated technique of TM using Spark. Using other options as defaults, we train LDA on the dataset downloaded from GitHub at https://github.com/minghui/Twitter-LDA/tree/master/data/Data4Model/test. However, we will use more well-known text datasets in the model reuse and deployment phase later in this chapter.

Implementation

The following steps show TM from data reading to printing the topics, along with their term weights. Here's the short workflow of the TM pipeline:

object topicmodelingwithLDA {
    def main(args: Array[String]): Unit = {
        val lda = 
        new LDAforTM() 
// actual computations are done here
        val defaultParams = Params().copy(input = "data/docs/") //Loading parameters for training
        lda.run(defaultParams) 
// Training the LDA model with the default parameters.
      }
}

We also need to import some related packages and libraries:
