Agile Data Science 2.0 (O'Reilly 2017) defines a methodology and a software stack with which to apply the methods. *The methodology* seeks to deliver data products in short sprints by going meta and putting the focus on the applied research process itself. *The stack* is but an example of one meeting the requirements that it be utterly scalable and utterly efficient in use by application developers as well as data engineers. It includes everything needed to build a full-blown predictive system: Apache Spark, Apache Kafka, Apache Incubating Airflow, MongoDB, ElasticSearch, Apache Parquet, Python/Flask, JQuery. This talk will cover the full lifecycle of large data application development and will show how to use lessons from agile software engineering to apply data science using this full-stack to build better analytics applications. The entire lifecycle of big data application development is discussed. The system starts with plumbing, moving on to data tables, charts and search, through interactive reports, and building towards predictions in both batch and realtime (and defining the role for both), the deployment of predictive systems and how to iteratively improve predictions that prove valuable.

How to Integrate Spark MLlib and Apache Solr to Build Real-Time Entity Type R...Spark Summit
Understanding the types of entities expressed in a search query (Company, Skill, Job Title, etc.) enables more intelligent information retrieval based upon those entities compared to a traditional keyword-based search. Because search queries are typically very short, leveraging a traditional bag-of-words model to identify entity types would be inappropriate due to the lack of contextual information. We implemented a novel entity type recognition system which combines clues from different sources of varying complexity in order to collect real-world knowledge about query entities. We employ distributional semantic representations of query entities through two models: 1) contextual vectors generated from encyclopedic corpora like Wikipedia, and 2) high dimensional word embedding vectors generated from millions of job postings using Spark MLlib. In order to enable real-time recognition of entity types, we utilize Apache Solr to cache the embedding vectors generated by Spark MLlib. This approach enable us to recognize entity types for entities expressed in search queries in less than 60 milliseconds which makes this system applicable for real-time entity type recognition.

Fishing Graphs in a Hadoop Data Lake by Jörg Schad and Max Neunhoeffer at Big...Big Data Spain
The document discusses using a graph database to store and query graph data stored in a Hadoop data lake more efficiently. It describes the limitations of the typical approach of using Spark/GraphFrames on HDFS for graph queries. A graph database allows for faster ad hoc graph queries by leveraging graph traversals. The document proposes using a multi-model database that combines a document store, graph database, and key-value store with a common query language. It suggests this approach could run on a DC/OS cluster for easy deployment and management of resources. Examples show importing data into ArangoDB and running graph queries.
Multiplatform Spark solution for Graph datasources by Javier DominguezBig Data Spain
This document summarizes a presentation given by Javier Dominguez at Big Data Spain about Stratio's multiplatform solution for graph data sources. It discusses graph use cases, different data stores like Spark, GraphX, GraphFrames and Neo4j. It demonstrates the machine learning life cycle using a massive dataset from Freebase, running queries and algorithms. It shows notebooks and a business example of clustering bank data using Jaccard distance and connected components. The presentation concludes with future directions like a semantic search engine and applying more machine learning algorithms.
This document discusses building agile analytics applications. It recommends taking an iterative approach where data is explored interactively from the start to discover insights. Rather than designing insights upfront, the goal is to build an application that facilitates exploration of the data to uncover insights. This is done by setting up an environment where insights can be repeatedly produced and shared with the team. The focus is on using simple, flexible tools that work from small local data to large datasets.
Big data never stops and neither should your Spark jobs. They should not stop when they see invalid input data. They should not stop when there are bugs in your code. They should not stop because of I/O-related problems. They should not stop because the data is too big. Bulletproof jobs not only keep working but they make it easy to identify and address the common problems encountered in large-scale production Spark processing: from data quality to code quality to operational issues to rising data volumes over time.
In this session you will learn three key principles for bulletproofing your Spark jobs, together with the architecture and system patterns that enable them. The first principle is idempotence. Exemplified by Spark 2.0 Idempotent Append operations, it enables 10x easier failure management. The second principle is row-level structured logging. Exemplified by Spark Records, it enables 100x (yes, one hundred times) faster root cause analysis. The third principle is invariant query structure. It is exemplified by Resilient Partitioned Tables, which allow for flexible management of large scale data over long periods of time, including late arrival handling, reprocessing of existing data to deal with bugs or data quality issues, repartitioning already written data, etc.
These patterns have been successfully used in production at Swoop in the demanding world of petabyte-scale online advertising.
Sarah Guido gave a presentation on analyzing data with Python. She discussed several Python tools for preprocessing, analysis, and visualization including Pandas for data wrangling, scikit-learn for machine learning, NLTK for natural language processing, MRjob for processing large datasets in parallel, and ggplot for visualization. For each tool, she provided examples and use cases. She emphasized that the best tools depend on the type of data and analysis needs.

Overall, Databricks aims to make AI possible for more organizations by breaking down the barriers between data teams.
Agile Data Science: Building Hadoop Analytics ApplicationsRussell Jurney
This document discusses building agile analytics applications with Hadoop. It outlines several principles for developing data science teams and applications in an agile manner. Some key points include:
- Data science teams should be small, around 3-4 people with diverse skills who can work collaboratively.
- Insights should be discovered through an iterative process of exploring data in an interactive web application, rather than trying to predict outcomes upfront.
- The application should start as a tool for exploring data and discovering insights, which then becomes the palette for what is shipped.
- Data should be stored in a document format like Avro or JSON rather than a relational format to reduce joins and better represent semi-structured
This contains the agenda of the Spark Meetup I organised in Bangalore on Friday, the 23rd of Jan 2014. It carries the slides for the talk I gave on distributed deep learning over Spark
The document describes the KDM tool, which automates Cassandra data modeling tasks.

A Tale of Three Apache Spark APIs: RDDs, DataFrames and Datasets by Jules DamjiData Con LA
Abstract:- Of all the developers delight, none is more attractive than a set of APIs that make developers productive, that are easy to use, and that are intuitive and expressive. Apache Spark offers these APIs across components such as Spark SQL, Streaming, Machine Learning, and Graph Processing to operate on large data sets in languages such as Scala, Java, Python, and R for doing distributed big data processing at scale. In this talk, I will explore the evolution of three sets of APIs - RDDs, DataFrames, and Datasets available in Apache Spark 2.x. In particular, I will emphasize why and when you should use each set as best practices, outline its performance and optimization benefits, and underscore scenarios when to use DataFrames and Datasets instead of RDDs for your big data distributed processing. Through simple notebook demonstrations with API code examples, you'll learn how to process big data using RDDs, DataFrames, and Datasets and interoperate among them.
"Searching for Meaning: The Hidden Structure in Unstructured Data". Presentation by Trey Grainger at the Southern Data Science Conference (SDSC) 2018.

Spark Based Distributed Deep Learning Framework For Big Data Applications Humoyun Ahmedov
Deep Learning architectures, such as deep neural networks, are currently the hottest emerging areas of data science, especially in Big Data. Deep Learning could be effectively exploited to address some major issues of Big Data, such as fast information retrieval, data classification, semantic indexing and so on. In this work, we designed and implemented a framework to train deep neural networks using Spark, fast and general data flow engine for large scale data processing, which can utilize cluster computing to train large scale deep networks. Training Deep Learning models requires extensive data and computation. Our proposed framework can accelerate the training time by distributing the model replicas, via stochastic gradient descent, among cluster nodes for data resided on HDFS.
The document discusses using Apache Spark to analyze tourism data from Norway. It includes:
1) Creating a Spark RDD from a CSV file containing monthly guest nights data from various countries to Norway from 2013 to 2014.
2) Parsing each line of the CSV into a tuple containing country, month, and number of guest nights using the map transformation.
3) Applying the reduceByKey transformation to aggregate the guest nights by country, calculating the growth rate from 2013 to 2014 for each country.
4) The results show the countries with the highest growth rates in guest nights to Norway from 2013 to 2014, with Liechtenstein having the highest.
This document discusses using Apache Hadoop and SQL Server to analyze large datasets. It finds that SQL Server struggles to efficiently query and analyze datasets with over 100 million rows, with query times increasing substantially with larger datasets. Apache Hadoop provides a more scalable solution by distributing data processing across a cluster. The document evaluates Hadoop and MongoDB for big data analysis, and chooses Hadoop for its ability to process large amounts of data for analytical purposes. It then discusses implementing Hortonworks Data Platform with Apache Ambari to analyze a 97GB population dataset using Hadoop.
Presented at SQL Saturday 220, Atlanta, GA, 201305. If you have a SQL Server license (Standard or higher) then you already have the ability to start data mining. In this new presentation, you will see how to scale up data mining from the free Excel 2013 add-in to production use. Aimed at beginning to intermediate data miners, this presentation will show how mining models move from development to production. We will use SQL Server 2012 tools including SSMS, SSIS, and SSDT.
Building a semantic search system - one that can correctly parse and interpret end-user intent and return the ideal results for users’ queries - is not an easy task. It requires semantically parsing the terms, phrases, and structure within queries, disambiguating polysemous terms, correcting misspellings, expanding to conceptually synonymous or related concepts, and rewriting queries in a way that maps the correct interpretation of each end user’s query into the ideal representation of features and weights that will return the best results for that user. Not only that, but the above must often be done within the confines of a very specific domain - ripe with its own jargon and linguistic and conceptual nuances.
This talk will walk through the anatomy of a semantic search system and how each of the pieces described above fit together to deliver a final solution. We'll leverage several recently-released capabilities in Apache Solr (the Semantic Knowledge Graph, Solr Text Tagger, Statistical Phrase Identifier) and Lucidworks Fusion (query log mining, misspelling job, word2vec job, query pipelines, relevancy experiment backtesting) to show you an end-to-end working Semantic Search system that can automatically learn the nuances of any domain and deliver a substantially more relevant search experience.
Making the leap to BI on Hadoop by Mariani, dave @ atscaleTin Ho
This document discusses making the transition to business intelligence (BI) on Hadoop from traditional data warehousing. It notes that traditionally only 3% of data is analyzed due to the complexity of data warehousing which requires multiple copies of data and rigid schemas. Hadoop provides an alternative that allows for schema on read, direct analysis of raw data without transformation, and horizontal scaling without joins. The document demonstrates this through an example analyzing match data from the online game Dota 2, showing how different questions can be answered directly from raw JSON logs stored on Hadoop without loading to a data warehouse.
Graph Databases - Where Do We Do the Modeling Part?DATAVERSITY
Graph processing and graph databases have been with us for a while. However, since their physical implementations are the same for every database in production (Node connected to node, or triplets), there's a perception that data modeling (and data modelers) have no role on projects where graph databases are used.
This month we'll talk about where graph databases are a best fit in a modern data architecture and where data models add value.
This document discusses a DataStage scenario problem and solution involving splitting data from one input file into three separate output files based on a modulus calculation on the input column. The solution involves designing a job with a transformer stage to map the input column to the three output files, and setting constraints on each link based on the modulus calculation to control the data flow to each file. The job is then compiled and run to solve the problem.
Webinar: Enterprise Data Management in the Era of MongoDB and Data LakesMongoDB
1. The document discusses using MongoDB and data lakes for enterprise data management. It outlines the current issues with relational databases and how MongoDB addresses challenges like flexibility, scalability and performance.
2. Various architectures for enterprise data management with MongoDB are presented, including using it for raw, transformed and aggregated data stores.
3. The benefits of combining MongoDB and Hadoop in a data lake are greater agility, insight from handling different data structures, scalability and low latency for real-time decisions.
The document proposes a distributed deep learning framework for big data applications built on Apache Spark. It discusses challenges in distributed computing and deep learning in big data. The proposed system addresses issues like concurrency, asynchrony, parallelism through a master-worker architecture with data and model parallelism. Experiments on sentiment analysis using word embeddings and deep networks on a 10-node Spark cluster show improved performance with increased nodes.
GreenDao is an ORM library that provides high performance for CRUD operations on SQLite databases in Android apps. It uses code generation to map objects to database tables, allowing data to be accessed and queried using objects rather than raw SQL. Some key features include object mapping, query building, caching, and bulk operations. The documentation provides examples of how to set up GreenDao in a project, define entity classes, perform queries, inserts, updates and deletes on objects.
Rental Cars and Industrialized Learning to Rank with Sean DownesDatabricks
Data can be viewed as the exhaust of online activity. With the rise of cloud-based data platforms, barriers to data storage and transfer have crumbled. The demand for creative applications and learning from those datasets has accelerated. Rapid acceleration can quickly accrue disorder, and disorderly data design can turn the deepest data lake into an impenetrable swamp.
In this talk, I will discuss the evolution of the data science workflow at Expedia with a special emphasis on Learning to Rank problems. From the heroic early days of ad-hoc Spark exploration to our first production sort model on the cloud, we will explore the process of industrializing the workflow. Layered over our story, I will share some best practices and suggestions on how to keep your data productive, or even pull your organization out of the data swamp.

Structure formation with primordial black holes: collisional dynamics, binari...Sérgio Sacani
Primordial black holes (PBHs) could compose the dark matter content of the Universe. We present the first simulations of cosmological structure formation with PBH dark matter that consistently include collisional few-body effects, post-Newtonian orbit corrections, orbital decay due to gravitational wave emission, and black-hole mergers. We carefully construct initial conditions by considering the evolution during radiation domination as well as early-forming binary systems. We identify numerous dynamical effects due to the collisional nature of PBH dark matter, including evolution of the internal structures of PBH halos and the formation of a hot component of PBHs. We also study the properties of the emergent population of PBH binary systems, distinguishing those that form at primordial times from those that form during the nonlinear structure formation process. These results will be crucial to sharpen constraints on the PBH scenario derived from observational constraints on the gravitational wave background. Even under conservative assumptions, the gravitational radiation emitted over the course of the simulation appears to exceed current limits from ground-based experiments, but this depends on the evolution of the gravitational wave spectrum and PBH merger rate toward lower redshifts.

The Man Who Dared to Challenge Newton: The True Story of Thane Heins, the Canadian Genius
Who Changed the World
By Johnny Poppi – for international press
In a small town in Ontario, among wheat fields and wind-filled silences, a man has worked for decades in
anonymity, armed only with naive curiosity, motors, copper wires, and questions too big to ignore. His
name is Thane C/ Heins, and according to some scientists who have seen him in action, he may have
made—and indeed has made—the most important scientific discovery in the history of humanity.
A discovery which will eventually eliminate the need for oil, coal, and uranium, and at the very least their
harmful effects while eliminating the need to recharge electric vehicles, and even rewrite—as it has already
begun—the very laws of physics as we’ve known them since Aristotle in 300 BC.
Sound like science fiction? Then listen to this story.
Investigating the central role that theories of the visual arts and creativity played in the development of fascism in France, Mark Antliff examines the aesthetic dimension of fascist myth-making within the history of the avant-garde. Between 1909 and 1939, a surprising array of modernists were implicated in this project, including such well-known figures as the symbolist painter Maurice Denis, the architects Le Corbusier and Auguste Perret, the sculptors Charles Despiau and Aristide Maillol, the “New Vision” photographer Germaine Krull, and the fauve Maurice Vlaminck.

Infrastructure for Tracking Information Flow from Social Media to U.S. TV New...Himarsha Jayanetti
This study examines the intersection between social media and mainstream television (TV) news with an aim to understand how social media content amplifies its impact through TV broadcasts. While many studies emphasize social media as a primary platform for information dissemination, they often underestimate its total influence by focusing solely on interactions within the platform. This research examines instances where social media posts gain prominence on TV broadcasts, reaching new audiences and prompting public discourse. By using TV news closed captions, on-screen text recognition, and social media logo detection, we analyze how social media is referenced in TV news.
On the Lunar Origin of Near-Earth Asteroid 2024 PT5Sérgio Sacani
The near-Earth asteroid (NEA) 2024 PT5 is on an Earth-like orbit that remained in Earth's immediate vicinity for several months at the end of 2024. PT5's orbit is challenging to populate with asteroids originating from the main belt and is more commonly associated with rocket bodies mistakenly identified as natural objects or with debris ejected from impacts on the Moon. We obtained visible and near-infrared reflectance spectra of PT5 with the Lowell Discovery Telescope and NASA Infrared Telescope Facility on 2024 August 16. The combined reflectance spectrum matches lunar samples but does not match any known asteroid types—it is pyroxene-rich, while asteroids of comparable spectral redness are olivine-rich. Moreover, the amount of solar radiation pressure observed on the PT5 trajectory is orders of magnitude lower than what would be expected for an artificial object. We therefore conclude that 2024 PT5 is ejecta from an impact on the Moon, thus making PT5 the second NEA suggested to be sourced from the surface of the Moon. While one object might be an outlier, two suggest that there is an underlying population to be characterized. Long-term predictions of the position of 2024 PT5 are challenging due to the slow Earth encounters characteristic of objects in these orbits. A population of near-Earth objects that are sourced by the Moon would be important to characterize for understanding how impacts work on our nearest neighbor and for identifying the source regions of asteroids and meteorites from this understudied population of objects on very Earth-like orbits.
