Large-scale Machine Learning with Spark and Flink

We have the pleasure of having the founders of Apache Flink in Stockholm, and they have some updates on recent advances in their machine learning library. Also, have been working with a large-scale model in Spark recently, and also thinking of benchmarking MLlib in Spark against Sci-kit and R.

Agenda:

• 18:00 - Mingle, beer, and greasy burgers

• 18:30 - (cancelled) What has the Analytics department in Spotify been working on recently? (Henrik Landgren)

• 19:00 - Large-scale ML in Apache Spark demo, potentially with some benchmark results against Sci-kit and R. (Anders Arpteg)

• 20:00 - Preview of Large-scale Machine Learning in Apache Flink. (Till Rohrmann et al)
