If you’re a data scientist or engineer who needs to perform large-scale machine learning in Spark, you may face these challenges:

• Tuning Hyperparameters
• Efficient Parallelization
• Dealing with large regression models

TalkingData, China’s largest independent Big Data platform, has developed an open-source solution to these challenges — Fregata.

Join Andreas Pfadler, machine learning engineer at TalkingData, for this webcast as he walks through key challenges/solutions to large-scale machine learning and use cases for machine learning at TalkingData.

Andreas will introduce Fregata, a light-weight, large-scale machine learning library on Spark, which aims to tackle large-scale logistic regression and softmax regression problems involving hundreds of millions of training data records.

In this webcast, participants will:

• Get an overview of common challenges in large-scale machine learning
• Learn practical methods to address these challenges
• Get introduced to Fregata, Fregata, a light-weight, large-scale machine learning library developed at Talking Data

Presenter: Andreas Pfadler, (LinkedIn profile) Machine Learning Engineer, TalkingData  holds a PhD in mathematics and previously worked as a consultant in the financial industry. Andreas is passionate about math, machine learning, software architecture, and cooking. He currently lives in Beijing.
