Machine Learning with Spark and Python Essential Techniques for Predictive Analytics, Second Edition simplifies ML for practical uses by focusing on two key algorithms. This new second edition improves with the addition of Spark--a ML framework from the Apache foundation. By implementing Spark, machine learning students can easily process much large data sets and call the spark algorithms using ordinary Python code. Machine Learning with Spark and Python focuses on two algorithm families (linear methods and ensemble methods) that effectively predict outcomes. This type of problem covers many use cases such as what ad to place on a web page, predicting prices in securities markets, or detecting credit card fraud. The focus on two families gives enough room for full descriptions of the mechanisms at work in the algorithms. Then the code examples serve to illustrate the workings of the machinery with specific hackable code.

Relearning to E-Learn removes the 'noise and hype' surrounding the field of e-learning and encourages its strategic implementation within corporate and community settings. E-learning straddles the crossroads where the management of education, training, performance, knowledge, human resources and change collide. Relearning to E-Learn is the result of a 12-month international research project designed to better understand both e-learning and the impact of multiple disciplines and processes within an organisational context. Relearning to E-learn: • examines the 'second wave' of e-learning implementation • analyses recurring concerns about e-learning development by learners, instructors and organisations • promotes serious rethinking of learning strategies at individual, group and organisational levels • advocates the need for innovative approaches to the design and delivery of learning programs to accommodate individual learner differences • encourages the view that e-learning should not be an isolated activity, but a catalyst and enabler of far-reaching change • offers practical strategies for achieving effective and efficient e-learning.
