Large Scale Machine Learning with Python

Learn to build powerful machine learning models quickly and deploy large-scale predictive applicationsKey FeaturesDesign, engineer and deploy scalable machine learning solutions with the power of PythonTake command of Hadoop and Spark with Python for effective machine learning on a map reduce frameworkBuild state-of-the-art models and develop personalized recommendations to perform machine learning at scaleBook DescriptionLarge Python machine learning projects involve new problems associated with specialized machine learning architectures and designs that many data scientists have yet to tackle. But finding algorithms and designing and building platforms that deal with large sets of data is a growing need. Data scientists have to manage and maintain increasingly complex data projects, and with the rise of big data comes an increasing demand for computational and algorithmic efficiency. Large Scale Machine Learning with Python uncovers a new wave of machine learning algorithms that meet scalability demands together with a high predictive accuracy.Dive into scalable machine learning and the three forms of scalability. Speed up algorithms that can be used on a desktop computer with tips on parallelization and memory allocation. Get to grips with new algorithms that are specifically designed for large projects and can handle bigger files, and learn about machine learning in big data environments. We will also cover the most effective machine learning techniques on a map reduce framework in Hadoop and Spark in Python.What you will learnApply the most scalable machine learning algorithmsWork with modern state-of-the-art large-scale machine learning techniquesIncrease predictive accuracy with deep learning and scalable data-handling techniquesImprove your work by combining the MapReduce framework with SparkBuild powerful ensembles at scaleUse data streams to train linear and non-linear predictive models from extremely large datasets using a single machineWho this book is forThis book is for anyone who intends to work with large and complex data sets.
