Apache: Big Data 2015

In this talk, Andrey Vykhodtsev and Frank Ketelaars will talk about how data scientists benefit from the scalable machine learning capabilities of Spark. They will demonstrate a machine learning workflow and how this is executed using Apache Spark and MLlib. The ability to answer to the needs of data scientists will improve further with the contribution of IBM Research's Machine Learning system (also known as System ML) to the Apache Spark project, making is easier and quicker to express machine learning algorithms.
