Study Notes
###Â Data Conversion
- One-hot encoding converts categorical data into numerical data while retaining categorical context.
Databricks AutoML: Model Code Navigation
- Databricks AutoML allows users to navigate to the best model code across all model iterations.
Hyperopt: Fine-tuning Hyperparameters
- The Hyperopt library can be used to efficiently fine-tune hyperparameters of a scikit-learn model concurrently.
- It enables parallel execution of different hyperparameter combinations, significantly reducing tuning time.
Databricks Autologging: Model Training
- Databricks Autologging is a useful feature for tracking and analyzing model training runs.
- It automatically logs metrics and parameters related to the training process, providing insights into model performance.
One-Hot Encoding: Random Forest Considerations
- One-hot encoding is generally not recommended for Random Forest models because it can lead to scalability challenges.
- Random forest models often rely on feature sampling, where a subset of features is used for each tree.
- One-hot encoding can create a dense feature space, which can make feature sampling less effective and increase training time.
Apache Spark MLlib Pipelines
- Apache Spark MLlib Pipelines consist of stages that represent different operations in a machine learning workflow.
- Valid stages include:
- Estimators: Algorithms that learn a model from data.
- Transformers: Algorithms that transform input data.
- Parameter objects: Objects for specifying parameters of estimators and transformers.
- The term "What's the reasoning behind ..." is not a valid stage in a Spark MLlib Pipeline.
