![Distributed Systems Are Hard
Lots of moving parts
Especially as these applications become more complicated
Machine learning can be a non-trivial operation
We need great building blocks that work well together
I agree with Jimmy Lin [3]: “keep it simple”
“make sure costs don’t outweigh benefits”
Minimize “Yet Another Tool To Learn” (YATTL) as much as
we can!](https://image.slidesharecdn.com/hadoopsummiteu201327022013final-130324085852-phpapp01/85/Hadoop-Summit-EU-2013-Parallel-Linear-Regression-IterativeReduce-and-YARN-12-320.jpg)

To Summarize Data moving into Hadoop everywhere Patterson’s Law Focus on hadoop, build around next-gen “linux of data” Need simple components to build next-gen data base apps They should work cleanly with the cluster that the fortune 500 has: Hadoop Also should be easy to integrate into Hadoop and with the hadoop-tool ecosystem Minimize YATTL

Editor's Notes
- #9: Reference some thoughts on attribution pipelines
- #16: Talk about how you normally would use the Normal equation, notes from Andrew Ng
- #18: “Unlikely optimization algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent show amazing performance for large-scale problems.“Bottou, 2010SGD has been around for decadesyet recently Langford, Bottou, others have shown impressive speed increasesSGD has been shown to train multiple orders of magnitude faster than batch style learnerswith no loss on model accuracy
- #19: “Unlikely optimization algorithms such as stochastic gradient descent show amazing performance for large-scale problems.“Bottou, 2010SGD has been around for decadesyet recently Langford, Bottou, others have shown impressive speed increasesSGD has been shown to train multiple orders of magnitude faster than batch style learnerswith no loss on model accuracy
- #20: The most important additions in Mahout’s SGD are:confidence weighted learning rates per termevolutionary tuning of hyper-parametersmixed ranking and regressiongrouped AUCImplications of it being local is that you are limited to the compute capacity of the local machine as opposed to even a single machine on the cluster.
- #21: At current disk bandwidth and capacity (2TB at 100MB/s throughput) 6 hours to read the content of a single HD
- #22: Bottou similar to Xu2010 in the 2010 paper
- #23: Benefits of data flow: runtime can decide where to run tasks and can automatically recover from failuresAcyclic data flow is a powerful abstraction, but is not efficient for applications that repeatedly reuse a working set of data:Iterative algorithms (many in machine learning)• No single programming model or framework can excel atevery problem; there are always tradeoffs between simplicity, expressivity, fault tolerance, performance, etc.
- #25: Performance still largely dependent on implementation of algo
- #29: POLR: Parallel Online Logistic RegressionTalking points:wanted to start with a known tool to the hadoop community, with expected characteristicsMahout’s SGD is well known, and so we used that as a base point
