Apache Spark Deep Learning Cookbook

Introduction

Deep learning is the focused study of machine learning algorithms that deploy neural networks as their main method of learning. Deep learning has exploded onto the scene just within the last couple of years. Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Amazon, Apple, Tesla and many other companies are all utilizing deep learning models in their apps, websites, and products. At the same exact time, Spark, an in-memory compute engine running on top of big data sources, has made it easy to process volumes of information at record speeds and ease. In fact, Spark has now become the leading big data development tool for data engineers, machine learning engineers, and data scientists.

Since deep learning models perform better with more data, the synergy ...
