Company perceives an intern as a trainee who works without or on less pay, in order to gain some extremely confined work experience. On the other hand, candidate takes an internship to be an opportunity where he is...

Friend Follower Analysis using Apache Spark GraphX’s PageRank algorithm

GraphX is Apache Spark’s API for graphs and graph-parallel computation. This includes transformation, exploration, and graph computation. Data can be viewed both as graph & collections. This use case discusses friend follower analysis using Apache Spark GraphX’s PageRank operator. PageRank measures the importance of each vertex in a graph, by determining which vertexes have the...

Hyperparameter Optimization and Why is it important?

  A machine learning model consists of various parameters that need to be learned from the data. The crux of Machine learning is fitting a model to the data. This process of training a model with existing data to fit the model parameters, is called model training. Hyperparameters refer to another kind of parameters...
