Machine Learning and Deep Learning With Spark

COMPSCI X459.5

17065286
Delivery Options Online
Machine learning plays an important role in big data analytics. In this introductory course, you learn the basic concepts of different machine-learning algorithms, answering such questions as when to use an algorithm, how to use it and what to pay attention to when using it. You use Apache Spark—an open-source cluster computing framework that is garnering significant attention in the data industry—as the primary platform for implementing these algorithms. The course curriculum minimizes mathematical derivations in favor of hands-on mastery of Spark's data-processing and streaming features. You also get an introduction to deep learning fundamentals and hands-on experience of deep learning with TensorFlow.
