In our last\u00a0PySpark tutorial<\/strong>, we discussed PySpark StorageLevel<\/strong>. Today, we will discuss PySpark MLlib. Moreover, we will see different algorithms and parameters of PySpark MLlib. PySpark has this machine learning API.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, let’s start PySpark MLlib.<\/p>\n

What is PySpark MLlib?<\/h2>\n

As we know, Spark offers a Machine Learning<\/strong> API which we call MLlib. Though, in Python as well, PySpark has this machine learning API. Also, there are different kind of algorithms in PySpark MLlib, such as:<\/span><\/p>\n

a. mllib.classification<\/h3>\n

For binary classification, various methods are available in the spark.mllib package\u00a0such as multiclass classification as well as regression analysis. Moreover, in classification, some of the most popular algorithms are Naive Bayes, Random Forest, Decision Tree<\/span><\/p>\n

b. mllib.clustering<\/h3>\n

An unsupervised learning problem is clustering, here we try to group subsets of entities with one another on the basis of some notion of similarity.<\/span><\/p>\n

c. mllib.linalg<\/h3>\n

This algorithm supports PySpark MLlib utilities for linear algebra.<\/span><\/p>\n

d. mllib.recommendation<\/h3>\n

For recommender systems, collaborative filtering is commonly used. So, to fill in the missing entries of a user item association matrix is the main aim of these techniques aim.<\/span><\/p>\n

e. spark.mllib<\/h3>\n

Recently, this PySpark MLlib supports model-based collaborative filtering. By a small set of latent factors,. Here all the users and products are described, which we can use to predict missing entries. However, to learn these latent factors, spark.mllib uses the Alternating Least Squares (ALS) algorithm.<\/span><\/p>\n

f. mllib.regression<\/h3>\n

Basically, linear regression comes from the family of regression algorithms. To find relationships and dependencies between variables is the main goal of regression.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although, PySpark MLlib package also covers other algorithms, classes, and functions. <\/span>
\nWell to understand it better, here is the following example<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternating Least Squares Matrix Factorization<\/strong>–<\/span><\/p>\n
