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.

Developing a fraud analytics model


Before we fully start, we need to do two things: know the dataset, and then prepare our programming environment.

Description of the dataset and using linear models

For this project, we will be using the credit card fraud detection dataset from Kaggle. The dataset can be downloaded from https://www.kaggle.com/dalpozz/creditcardfraud. Since I am using the dataset, it would be a good idea to be transparent by citing the following publication:

  • Andrea Dal Pozzolo, Olivier Caelen, Reid A. Johnson, and Gianluca Bontempi, Calibrating Probability with Undersampling for Unbalanced Classification. In Symposium on Computational Intelligence and Data Mining (CIDM), IEEE, 2015.

The datasets contain transactions made by credit cards by European cardholders in September 2013 over the span of only two days. There is a total of 285,299 transactions, with only 492 frauds out of 284,807 transactions, meaning the dataset is highly imbalanced and the positive class (fraud) accounts...
