Last weekend I took the Lynda course “Understanding Data Science ” with Doug Rose. The class is designed for those that do not intend to be Data Scientists but want to become familiar with the process and terminology. The class has a running time of 1 hour and 16 minutes and covers includes the following […]
Podcast | Understanding Predictive Analytics (O’Reilly)
In this episode of the O’Reilly Data Show, O’Reilly’s online managing editor Jenn Webb speaks with Natalino Busa on the topic of predictive analytics, the challenges of feature engineering, and a new class of techniques that is enabling features to emerge from patterns within the data.
They also discuss the relationship between predictive techniques and high-quality microservices, and how machine learning is being used to improve financial services. Listen to Podcast
Edu-Videos | Learn All About Apache Spark (100x Faster than Hadoop MapReduce)
Apache Spark’s popularity as part of big data analytics solutions is exploding. Spark is an open-source data analytics cluster computing framework originally developed in the AMPLab at UC Berkeley. Spark fits into the Hadoop open-source community, building on top of the Hadoop Distributed File System (HDFS). However, Spark promises performance up to 100 times faster than Hadoop MapReduce for certain applications…and that’s why you should care!
Spark’s in-memory cluster computing is very well suited to machine learning algorithms. These Videos will give you a nice introduction to Spark, how it’s being used in business and why you should care…Watch Spark Videos…
