Description du cours

The real world is messy and your job is to make sense of it. Toy datasets like MTCars and Iris are the result of careful curation and cleaning, even so the data needs to be transformed for it to be useful for powerful machine learning algorithms to extract meaning, forecast, classify or cluster. This course will cover the gritty details that data scientists are spending 70-80% of their time on; data wrangling and feature engineering. With size of datasets now becoming ever larger, let's use PySpark to cut this Big Data problem down to size!

Feature Engineering

In this chapter learn how to create new features for your machine learning model to learn from. We'll look at generating them by combining fields, extracting values from messy columns or encoding them for better results.

Feature Generation

Differences

Deeper Features

Time Features

Time Components

Joining On Time Components

Extracting Features

Extracting Text to New Features

Splitting & Exploding

Pivot & Join

Binarizing, Bucketing & Encoding

Binarizing Day of Week

One Hot Encoding

4

Building a Model

In this chapter we'll learn how to choose which type of model we want. Then we will learn how to apply our data to the model and evaluate it. Lastly, we'll learn how to interpret the results and save the model for later!

Choosing the Algorithm

Which MLlib Module?

Creating Time Splits

Adjusting Time Features

Feature Engineering Assumptions for RFR

Feature Engineering For Random Forests

Dropping Columns with Low Observations

Naively Handling Missing and Categorical Values
