Machine Learning with Apache Mahout:
Introduction to scalable ML for Developers

This one-day course is designed to help Software Engineers and Data Scientists understand the high-level concepts and classifications of machine learning systems, with a strong focus on building Recommender Systems.

You will gain an understanding of the tools and high-level conceptual ideas needed to understand what a machine learning solution is (and is not) capable of, and how to identify a suitable use case. You will learn how to construct an example solution at the conceptual level using pre-provided building blocks in order to get a feel for the general design patterns. You will learn hands-on how to build a scalable hybrid real-time Recommender System based on Apache Hadoop, Apache Mahout, and Apache Solr, and how to optimise the system to deliver real business value.

The course has been jointly designed and written by Big Data Partnership and Ted Dunning, world renowned expert in Recommender Systems and co-author of Mahout in Action (Manning) which is also recommended as a companion book to the course.

Immensely pleased with the course content and expert trainer. The real-life practitioner experience and interest in the subject matter was clearly demonstrated by the trainer. The courses provided key insight and hands-on exposure into the relatively new and emerging Big Data field. The courses were detailed, enjoyable and great to be surrounded with like-minded and interesting course delegates.
