BOOK



Leverage Scala and Machine Learning to construct and study

systems that can learn from data

About This Book* Explore a broad variety of data processing

machine learning, and genetic algorithms through diagrams

mathematical formulation, and source code* Leverage your

expertise in Scala programming to create and customize AI

applications with your own scalable machine learning algorithms*

Experiment with different techniques, and evaluate their benefits

and limitations using real-world financial applications, in a

tutorial styleWho This Book Is For

Are you curious about AI? All you need is a good understanding of

the Scala programming language, a basic knowledge of statistics

a keen interest in Big Data processing, and this book!

In Detail

The discovery of information through data clustering and

classification is becoming a key differentiator for competitive

organizations. Machine learning applications are everywhere, from

self-driving cars, engineering designs, biometrics, and trading

strategies, to detection of genetic anomalies



The book begins with an introduction to the functional

capabilities of the Scala programming language that are critical

to the creation of machine learning algorithms such as dependency

injection and implicits



Next, you'll learn about data preprocessing and filtering

techniques. Following this, you'll move on to clustering and

dimension reduction, Naive Bayes, regression models, sequential

data, regularization and kernelization, support vector machines

neural networks, generic algorithms, and re-enforcement learning

A review of the Akka framework and Apache Spark clusters

concludes the tutorial
