Overview of this book

Scala is a highly scalable integration of object-oriented nature and functional programming concepts that make it easy to build scalable and complex big data applications. This book is a handy guide for machine learning developers and data scientists who want to develop and train effective machine learning models in Scala. The book starts with an introduction to machine learning, while covering deep learning and machine learning basics. It then explains how to use Scala-based ML libraries to solve classification and regression problems using linear regression, generalized linear regression, logistic regression, support vector machine, and Naïve Bayes algorithms. It also covers tree-based ensemble techniques for solving both classification and regression problems. Moving ahead, it covers unsupervised learning techniques, such as dimensionality reduction, clustering, and recommender systems. Finally, it provides a brief overview of deep learning using a real-life example in Scala.

Overview of classification

As a supervised learning task, classification is the problem of identifying which set of observations (sample) belongs to what based on one or more independent variables. This learning process is based on a training set containing observations (or instances) about the class or label of membership. Typically, classification problems are when we are training a model to predict quantitative (but discrete) targets, such as spam detection, churn prediction, sentiment analysis, cancer type prediction, and so on.

Suppose we want to develop a predictive model, which will predict whether a student is competent enough to get admission into computer science based on his/her competency in TOEFL and GRE. Also, suppose we have some historical data in the following range/format:

  • TOEFL: Between 0 and 100
  • GRE: Between 0 and 100
  • Admission: 1 for admitted, 0 if not admitted...
