Hands-On Deep Learning with Apache Spark

By: Guglielmo Iozzia

Overview of this book

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning where datasets with several layers of complexity can be processed. Hands-On Deep Learning with Apache Spark addresses the sheer complexity of technical and analytical parts and the speed at which deep learning solutions can be implemented on Apache Spark. The book starts with the fundamentals of Apache Spark and deep learning. You will set up Spark for deep learning, learn principles of distributed modeling, and understand different types of neural nets. You will then implement deep learning models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and long short-term memory (LSTM) on Spark. As you progress through the book, you will gain hands-on experience of what it takes to understand the complex datasets you are dealing with. During the course of this book, you will use popular deep learning frameworks, such as TensorFlow, Deeplearning4j, and Keras to train your distributed models. By the end of this book, you'll have gained experience with the implementation of your models on a variety of use cases.

Summary

In this chapter, we have learned about the details of the UI that DL4J provides for the monitoring and tuning purposes of a neural network at training time. We have also learned how to use the UI when training with DL4J and when Apache Spark is part of the game too. Finally, we understood what useful insights we could obtain from the charts that are presented in the DL4J UI pages to spot potential issues and some ways to remedy them.

The next chapter focuses on how to evaluate a neural network so that we can understand the accuracy of a model. Different evaluation techniques will be presented before we dive into practical examples of implementation through the DL4J API and the Spark API.
