Overview of this book

Social networking sites see an average of 350 million uploads daily - a quantity impossible for humans to scan and analyze. Only AI can do this job at the required speed, and to leverage an AI application at its full potential, you need an efficient and scalable data storage pipeline. The Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Workshop will teach you how to build and manage one. The Artificial Intelligence Infrastructure Workshop begins taking you through some real-world applications of AI. You’ll explore the layers of a data lake and get to grips with security, scalability, and maintainability. With the help of hands-on exercises, you’ll learn how to define the requirements for AI applications in your organization. This AI book will show you how to select a database for your system and run common queries on databases such as MySQL, MongoDB, and Cassandra. You’ll also design your own AI trading system to get a feel of the pipeline-based architecture. As you learn to implement a deep Q-learning algorithm to play the CartPole game, you’ll gain hands-on experience with PyTorch. Finally, you’ll explore ways to run machine learning models in production as part of an AI application. By the end of the book, you’ll have learned how to build and deploy your own AI software at scale, using various tools, API frameworks, and serialization methods.

Activity 3.01: Using PySpark for a Simple ETL Job to Find Netflix Shows for All Ages

Solution

  1. Create a directory called Activity03.01 in the Chapter03 directory to store the files for this activity.
  2. Open your Terminal (macOS or Linux) or Command Prompt (Windows), navigate to the Chapter03 directory, and type jupyter notebook.
  3. Select the Activity03.01 directory, then click New -> Python3 to create a new Python 3 notebook.
  4. If you have done Exercise 3.02, Building an ETL Job Using Spark, PySpark is already installed on your local machine. If not, install PySpark with the following lines:
    import sys
    !conda install --yes --prefix {sys.prefix} \
           -c conda-forge pyspark
  5. Connect to a Spark cluster or a local instance using the following code:
    from pyspark.sql import SparkSession
    from pyspark.sql.functions import col, split, size
    spark = SparkSession.builder.appName("Packt").getOrCreate()
