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.

H2O-3 cluster in the 90-day free trial environment for H2O AI Cloud

Here, you must interact with Enterprise Steam to run H2O-3. In this case, you will install the h2osteam module in your Python client environment in addition to the h2o module as we did when running H2O-3 locally.

Step 1 – Get your 90-day trial to H2O AI Cloud

Get your trial access to H2O AI Cloud here: https://h2o.ai/freetrial.

When you have completed all steps and can log in to H2O AI Cloud, then we can start running H2O-3 clusters as part of the H2O AI Cloud platform. Here are the next steps.

Step 2 – Set up your Python environment

To set up your Python client environment, perform the following steps:

  1. Log in to H2O AI Cloud and click on the My AI Engines tab. This will take you to Enterprise Steam, as shown in the following screenshot. From there, download the h2osteam library by clicking on the Python Client option from the sidebar:
