Machine Learning with PySpark
Description
Master the new features in PySpark 3.1 to develop data-driven, intelligent applications. This updated edition covers topics ranging from building scalable machine learning models, to natural language processing, to recommender systems.
Machine Learning with PySpark, Second Edition begins with the fundamentals of Apache Spark, including the latest updates to the framework. Next, you will learn the full spectrum of traditional machine learning algorithm implementations, along with natural language processing and recommender systems. You'll gain familiarity with the critical process of selecting machine learning algorithms, data ingestion, and data processing to solve business problems. You'll see a demonstration of how to build supervised machine learning models such as linear regression, logistic regression, decision trees, and random forests. You'll also learn how to automate the steps using Spark pipelines, followed by unsupervised models such as K-means and hierarchical clustering. A section on Natural Language Processing (NLP) covers text processing, text mining, and embeddings for classification. This new edition also introduces Koalas in Spark and how to automate data workflow using Airflow and PySpark's latest ML library.
After completing this book, you will understand how to use PySpark's machine learning library to build and train various machine learning models, along with related components such as data ingestion, processing and visualization to develop data-driven intelligent applications
What you will learn:
- Build a spectrum of supervised and unsupervised machine learning algorithms
- Use PySpark's machine learning library to implement machine learning and recommender systems
- Leverage the new features in PySpark's machine learning library
- Understand data processing using Koalas in Spark
- Handle issues around feature engineering, class balance, bias and variance, and cross validation to build optimally fit models
Who This Book Is For
Data science and machine learning professionals.Shipping & Processing
This item is in stock with our supplier and usually ships within 3–5 business days.
Processing times
- In stock: Items marked “In Stock” are on our shelves. We pick, pack and ship them within 1–2 business days.
- In stock with our supplier: Items not marked “In Stock” are held by one of our Australian or overseas suppliers. We order them in for you and they usually dispatch within 2–5 business days (3–5 for some suppliers). The estimate next to the price is for this item.
- Special orders: Some supplier items, such as specialist and imported items, titles awaiting reprint and print-on-demand titles, take longer to arrive. If your order includes one, we’ll update you as soon as we hear from our supplier.
- Supplier delays: Occasionally a supplier is delayed, or their stock information turns out to be inaccurate. We’ll keep your order open for up to 60 days. If an item hasn’t shipped or isn’t on its way to us by then, we’ll cancel that item and refund it.
How accurate is availability?
Availability is based on the stock levels our suppliers tell us they hold, and we update it regularly. If a supplier issue affects your order, we’ll let you know with an updated estimate.
Delivery
- As soon as your order ships you’ll get an email with tracking.
- Australia Post usually delivers within 2–10 business days of shipping (around 4 in metro areas and around 6 in regional areas).
- If your order has more than one item, we hold the in-stock items until everything is ready, so we can ship your whole order together in one parcel.
- Shipping cost: Free on orders over $100 within Australia, otherwise $9.95 flat rate per order however many items you buy. Free shipping applies to Australian addresses only; delivery to New Zealand is $14.95 per order.
