Machine Learning with Clojure and Apache Spark ;; Eric Weinstein

Part 0: Hello!
About Me (def eric-weinstein {:employer "Hulu" :github "ericqweinstein" :twitter "ericqweinstein"

Agenda • Machine learning • Apache Spark • Flambo vs.
Sparkling • DL4J, deep learning, and convolutional neural networks
Part 1: ⚡✨
What’s machine learning?
In a word:
Generalization
What’s Supervised Learning? Classification or regression, generalizing from labeled data
to unlabeled data
What’s Apache Spark? Apache Spark is an open-source cluster computing
framework; its parallelism makes it ideal for processing large data sets, and in ML, the more data, the better!
Some Spark Terminology • RDD: Resilient Distributed Dataset • Dataset:
RDD + Spark SQL execution engine • DataFrame: Dataset organized into named columns
Our Data • Police stop data for the city of
Los Angeles, California in 2015 • 4 features, ~600,000 instances • http://bit.ly/2f9jVwn
Features && Labels • Sex (Male | Female) • Race
(American Indian | Asian | Black | Hispanic | White | Other) • Stop type (Pedestrian | Vehicle) • Post-stop activity (Yes | No)

Part 2: A Tale of Two DSLs vs. ✨✨ Image
credit: Adventure Time
Flambo Example (defn make-spark-context "Creates the Apache Spark context using
the Flambo DSL." [] (-> (conf/spark-conf) (conf/master "local") (conf/app-name "euroclojure") (f/spark-context)))
Sparkling Example (defn make-spark-context "Creates the Apache Spark context using
the Sparkling DSL." [] (-> (conf/spark-conf) (conf/master "local") (conf/app-name "euroclojure") (spark/spark-context)))
Straight Spark (def model (DecisionTree/trainClassifier training 2 categorical-features- info "gini"
5 32)) ; max depth: 5, max leaves: 32 (defn predict [p] ; LabeledPoint (let [prediction (.predict model (.features p))] [(.label p) prediction]))
Accuracy: 0.77352
Part 3: Deep Learning
What’s Deep Learning? • Neural networks (computational architecture modeled after
the human brain) • Neural networks with many layers (> 1 hidden layer, but in practice, can be hundreds) • The vanishing/exploding gradient problem
Vanishing && Gradients

Max Pooling/Downsampling
Alternating Layers
Our Data Image credit: http://digitalmedia.fws.gov/cdm/
What’s DL4J? • DL4J == Deep Learning 4 Java, a
library (for Java, unsurprisingly) • Examples on GitHub: https://github.com/ deeplearning4j/deeplearning4j • ConvNet worked example: http://bit.ly/2eBM8ss
DL4J Example (def nn-conf (-> (NeuralNetConfiguration$Builder.) ;; Some values omitted
for space (.activation "relu") (.learningRate 0.0001) (.weightInit (WeightInit/XAVIER)) (.optimizationAlgo OptimizationAlgorithm/STOCHASTIC_GRADIENT_DESCENT) (.updater Updater/RMSPROP) (.momentum 0.9) (.list) (.layer 0 conv-init) (.layer 1 (max-pool "maxpool1" (int-array [2 2]))) (.layer 2 (conv-5x5 "cnn2" 100 (int-array [5 5]) (int-array [1 1]) 0)) (.layer 3 (max-pool "maxpool2" (int-array [2 2]))) (.layer 4 (fully-connected 500)) (.layer 5 output-layer) (.build)))
How’d We Do? • Accuracy: 0.375 • Precision: 0.3333 •
Recall: 0.375 • F1 Score: 0.3529
Summary • Clojure + Spark = • Flambo and Sparkling
are roughly equally powerful • Deep learning is super doable with Clojure (though Java interop is kind of a pain)
Takeaways (TL;DPA) • Contribute to Flambo and/or Sparkling! • Let’s
build or contribute to a nicer DSL for DL4J • https://github.com/ericqweinstein/euroclojure
