Title: ML at Scale using Apache Spark. Develop, Interpret and Monitor.

Abstract

Join us for a 360 view of Machine Learning at scale, covering model development, results interpretation and results monitoring technique. In this talk Ahmed Ibrahim will walk through step-by-step approaches on how to apply Spark MLib, Lime and Drift Measurements. This talk is intended to give you a 360 view on how to apply machine learning at scale from a project perspective.

During this session we will write Scala code using Spark and MLIB Random Forest Classifiers to create your first ML model that runs against big data. If you don't know Scala or these frameworks, don't worry -- the examples are easy to follow, and you'll come away better prepared to do the same thing with the language and frameworks of your choice.

Takeaways from the session:

(a) code on GitHub having sample code in Scala implementing MLIB classifiers

(b) code on GitHub that runs at scale within a Jupyter or DataBricks.
