In this instructor-led, live training in Denmark, participants will learn about the technology offerings and implementation approaches for processing graph data. The aim is to identify real-world objects, their characteristics and relationships, then model these relationships and process them as data using a Graph Computing (also known as Graph Analytics) approach. We start with a broad overview and narrow in on specific tools as we step through a series of case studies, hands-on exercises and live deployments.

By the end of this training, participants will be able to:

• Understand how graph data is persisted and traversed.
• Select the best framework for a given task (from graph databases to batch processing frameworks.)
• Implement Hadoop, Spark, GraphX and Pregel to carry out graph computing across many machines in parallel.
• View real-world big data problems in terms of graphs, processes and traversals.

This course is intended for developers and data scientists who want to understand and implement artificial intelligence in their applications. Special focus is placed on data analytics, distributed AI, and natural language processing.

MLlib is Spark’s machine learning (ML) library. Its goal is to make practical machine learning scalable and easy. It consists of common learning algorithms and utilities, including classification, regression, clustering, collaborative filtering, dimensionality reduction, as well as lower-level optimization primitives and higher-level pipeline APIs.

It divides into two packages:

• spark.mllib contains the original API built on top of RDDs.

• spark.ml provides higher-level API built on top of DataFrames for constructing ML pipelines.

Audience

This course is directed at engineers and developers seeking to utilize a built in Machine Library for Apache Spark
