Workshop: [SOLD OUT] Machine Learning and Natural Language Processing on Social Media Data at Scale

Location: O’Neill, 4th fl.

Duration: 1:00pm - 4:00pm

Day of week: Thursday

Level: Intermediate

Key Takeaways

  • Running Spark and Hadoop clusters on Google Cloud Platform
  • Using Spark Spark MLlib on Google Cloud Platform
  • Using AutoML for Custom Deep Learning models
  • Using Natural Language APIs for Natural Language Processing

Prerequisites

Familiarity with GCP, Spark and/or Machine Learning is helpful but not necessary.    

This workshop is mostly hands-on. Please bring a laptop. No pre-installs necessary.

Social media data is a mirror for our collective thoughts and views on the world, but working with these massive datasets is challenging. In this workshop, we’ll cover how Spark and Hadoop on Google Cloud can help us prepare datasets in parallel, at scale. Then we’ll use this data to build machine learning models with Spark MLlib, Google Cloud Natural Language API and Google Cloud AutoML. You'll walk away from this workshop with a better understanding of how to do natural language processing on massive troves of text data.
