Cloudera University’s one-day Introduction to Machine Learning with Spark ML and MLlib will teach you the key language concepts to machine learning, Spark MLlib, and Spark ML. The course includes coverage of collaborative filtering, clustering, classification, algorithms, and data volume.

There are no prerequisites for this course.

This course is intended for software engineers who have basic Linux experience in addition to experience with either the Scala or Python programming languages (code examples and exercises are presented in both languages, so students can choose whichever language they prefer).

Through instructor-led discussion, as well as hands-on exercises, participants will learn topics including: 

  • Data types, statistics support, feature extraction, transforming vectors, using the StandardScaler class 
  • An overview of dimensionality reduction 
  • Machine learning models, regression, linear regression support, and regularization. 
  • Finally, the course discusses machine learning with Spark ML topics such as using data frames, transformers and estimators, an introduction to pipelines, using pipelines to generate models, and regularization.

Practical Machine Learning for Cloudera Platform Training Course in South Africa

Formerly known as Union of South Africa, now officially known as Republic of South Africa is the Southernmost country in Africa. South Africa's population is over 60 million people, which makes the country the world's 23rd-most populous nation. South Africa has three capital cities: executive Pretoria, judicial Bloemfontein and legislative Cape Town, while the largest city is Johannesburg. The official languages of South Africa are Afrikaans, English, Ndebele, Pedi, Sotho, Swati, Tsonga, Tswana, Venda, Xhosa and Zulu.

South Africa can be rainy from November to February, so the best time to visit South Africa is from May to September. Despite the rainy season South Africa is a year-round destination, with varying regional climates. Blyde River Canyon, Durban, Drakensberg, Kruger National Park and of course, Cape Town are the tourist attractions of the country.
