COM6012 Scalable Machine Learning - University of Sheffield

Spring 2021 by Haiping Lu (1-5) and Mauricio A Álvarez (6-10)

In this module, we will learn how to do machine learning at large scale using Apache Spark. We will use the High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster systems of our university. You must use VPN (Virtual Private Network) to connect to the HPC.

This edition uses PySpark 3.0.1, the latest stable release of Spark (Sep 02, 2020), and has 10 sessions below. You can refer to the overview slides for more information, e.g. timetable and assessment information.

  • Session 1: Introduction to Spark and HPC
  • Session 2: RDD, DataFrame, ML pipeline, & parallelization
  • Session 3: Scalable matrix factorisation for collaborative filtering in recommender systems
  • Session 4: Scalable k-means clustering and Spark configuration
  • Session 5: Scalable PCA for dimensionality reduction and Spark data types
  • Session 6: Scalable decision trees and ensemble models
  • Session 7: Scalable logistic regression
  • Session 8: Scalable generalized linear models
  • Session 9: Scalable neural networks
  • Session 10: Apache Spark in the Cloud (guest lecture by Dr Michael Smith)

You can also download the Spring 2020 version for preview or reference.
