Machine Learning at Scale with H2O

By: Gregory Keys, David Whiting

Overview of this book

H2O is an open source, fast, and scalable machine learning framework that allows you to build models using big data and then easily productionalize them in diverse enterprise environments. Machine Learning at Scale with H2O begins with an overview of the challenges faced in building machine learning models on large enterprise systems, and then addresses how H2O helps you to overcome them. You’ll start by exploring H2O’s in-memory distributed architecture and find out how it enables you to build highly accurate and explainable models on massive datasets using your favorite ML algorithms, language, and IDE. You’ll also get to grips with the seamless integration of H2O model building and deployment with Spark using H2O Sparkling Water. You’ll then learn how to easily deploy models with H2O MOJO. Next, the book shows you how H2O Enterprise Steam handles admin configurations and user management, and then helps you to identify different stakeholder perspectives that a data scientist must understand in order to succeed in an enterprise setting. Finally, you’ll be introduced to the H2O AI Cloud platform and explore the entire machine learning life cycle using multiple advanced AI capabilities. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build and deploy advanced, state-of-the-art machine learning models for your business needs.

Chapter 11: The Administrator and Operations Views

We have spent a good proportion of time in this book so far understanding the components of the H2O machine learning at scale framework and deep diving to develop the skills to implement the framework for model building and model deployment on enterprise systems.

Success in machine learning requires skill with code and technology but in an enterprise, it also requires success with people and processes. Looked at in another way, the proverbial success is a team sport statement is all too true. Let's now begin looking at the personas or stakeholders that participate in bringing success to H2O machine learning at scale.

In this chapter, we will start by addressing the personas directly involved in this success: H2O administrators, the operations team, and the data scientist. We'll understand how the key stakeholders interact with H2O at scale model building and model deployment. We'll look at the H2O administrator...
