23 Artificial Intelligence and Big Data

In this chapter, we are going to learn what big data is and how big data technologies can be used in the context of artificial intelligence. We will discuss how big data can help accelerate machine learning pipelines. We will also discuss when it is a good idea to use big data techniques and when they are overkill, using some examples to further our understanding. We will learn about the building blocks of a machine learning pipeline that uses big data and the various challenges involved, and we will create an environment in Python to see how it works in practice. By the end of this chapter, we will have covered:

Big data basics
The three V's of big data
Big data as it applies to artificial intelligence ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
