This is the code repository for Apache Spark Deep Learning Cookbook, published by Packt.

Over 80 recipes that streamline deep learning in a distributed environment with Apache Spark

With deep learning gaining rapid mainstream adoption in modern-day industries, organizations are looking for ways to unite popular big data tools with highly efficient deep learning libraries. As a result, this will help deep learning models train with higher efficiency and speed.

This book covers the following exciting features:

• Set up a fully functional Spark environment
• Understand practical machine learning and deep learning concepts
• Apply built-in machine learning libraries, MLLib, within Spark
• Explore libraries that are compatible with TensorFlow and Keras
• Explore NLP models such as word2vec and TF-IDF on Spark

All of the code is organized into folders.

The code will look like the following:

df2 = df.groupBy('Call Type Group').count() graphDF = df2.toPandas() graphDF = graphDF.sort_values('count', ascending=False) import matplotlib.pyplot as plt %matplotlib inline graphDF.plot(x='Call Type Group', y = 'count', kind='bar') plt.title('Call Type Group by Count') plt.show()

Following is what you need for this book: If you’re looking for a practical and highly useful resource for implementing efficiently distributed deep learning models with Apache Spark, then the Apache Spark Deep Learning Cookbook is for you. Knowledge of the core machine learning concepts and a basic understanding of the Apache Spark framework is required to get the best out of this book. Additionally, some programming knowledge in Python is a plus.

With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-13).
