The Fifth Elephant 2014

Take the audience throught my journey of learning machine learning from scarath using various freely available resources and building applications it on the big data using Apache Spark and MLLib.

Outline

With bigdata explosion, machine learning is becoming more and more important in various fields of data analysis.But with lot of mathematical notations and jargons it has become extremely difficult to understand for a beginner.Morever even though you understand the tequniques, you will start wondering how to implement or use it on larger real world data.

In this talk, I will be sharing my and my team’s experience of learning machine learning from scartch and using it on bigdata using Spark and MLLib. All the examples and code for the examples will be avaliable on github.

Requirements

Passion for machine learning.
