  • Machine learning engineers, data scientists, and software developers interested in applying machine learning for continuous flows of data

Level

Intermediate

Description

In many domains, data is generated at a fast pace. A clear example is the Internet of Things (IoT) applications, where connected sensors yield large amount of data in short periods. To build predictive models from this data, you need to either settle for traditional offline learning or attempt to learn from the data incrementally. A significant setback with the offline learning approach is that it’s slow to react to changes in the domain, and these changes can have a catastrophic impact on the model predictive performance, since the patterns in which the model was trained on are no longer valid.

An online approach where the model is trained incrementally can potentially fix this; however, the untold story is that the existing challenges for offline learning are still present (and are even maximized) when processing the data online. These challenges include, but are not limited to, raw data preprocessing, efficient incremental updates to models, algorithms to detect changes and react to them, and dealing with lots of unlabeled and delayed-labeled data.

Heitor Murilo Gomes and Albert Bifet dive into how a machine learning pipeline for streaming data can be developed in the streamDM framework. They’re not presenting on how they applied a specific algorithm to proprietary data or giving a lecture on theoretical problems related to machine learning for data streams. You’ll learn how to apply streamDM to your data streams and expand the framework to accommodate your needs.

Prerequisite knowledge

  • An intermediary understanding of machine learning for batch data
  • An intermediary understanding of Spark and Scala (useful but not required)

What you'll learn

  • Discover the main challenges when applying ML techniques to data streams, how to deploy an ML pipeline for data streams in streamDM, and preprocessing methods, as well as supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms for data streams
