In this talk Alex will discuss lessons learned from AWS SageMaker, an integrated framework for handling all stages of analysis. AWS uses open source components such as Jupyter, Docker containers, Python and well established deep learning frameworks such as Apache MxNet and TensorFlow for an easy to learn workflow.
Improving user-merchant propensity modeling using neural collaborative filtering and wide and deep models on Spark BigDL at scale

Improving user-merchant propensity modeling using neural collaborative filtering and wide and deep models on Spark BigDL at scale

November 24, 2019

Sergey Ermolin and Suqiang Song demonstrate how to use Spark BigDL wide and deep and neural collaborative filtering (NCF) algorithms to predict a users probability of shopping at a particular offer merchant during a campaign period. Along the way, they compare the deep learning results with those obtained by MLlibs alternating least squares (ALS) approach.

Machine-learned model quality monitoring in fast data and streaming applications

November 23, 2019

Most machine learning algorithms are designed to work on stationary data, but real-life streaming data is rarely stationary. Models lose prediction accuracy over time if they are not retrained. Without model quality monitoring, retraining decisions are suboptimal and costly. Emre Velipasaoglu evaluates monitoring methods for applicability in modern fast data and streaming applications.

Playing well together: Big data beyond the JVM with Spark and friends

November 22, 2019

Holden Karau and Rachel Warren explore the state of the current big data ecosystem and explain how to best work with it in non-JVM languages. While much of the focus will be on Python + Spark, the talk will also include interesting anecdotes about how these lessons apply to other systems (including Kafka).
