Content preview from Distributed Data Systems with Azure Databricks

Chapter 8: Databricks Runtime for Machine Learning

This chapter will be a deep dive into the development of classic machine learning algorithms to train and deploy models based on tabular data, exploring libraries and algorithms as well. The examples will be focused on the particularities and advantages of using Azure Databricks Runtime for Machine Learning (Databricks Runtime ML).

In this chapter we will explore the following concepts, which are focused on how we can extract and improve the features available in our data to train our machine learning and deep learning models. The topics that we will cover are listed here:

Loading data
Feature engineering
Time-series data sources
Handling missing values
Extracting features from text
Training ...

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.
