Book Description

Data scientists have to manage and maintain complex data projects. Finding algorithms and designing and building platforms that deal with large sets of data is a growing need.

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.

First, we start with the family of machine learning algorithms that are considered scalable. With this family of algorithms, we lead you through three levels of scalability. The first level is all about speeding up algorithms that can be used on a desktop computer. We will provide tips on parallelization and memory allocation. The second level is the newer algorithms that are specifically designed for scalability and can handle bigger files. The third level is 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.
