Tutorial: Agile Machine Learning with Scalding and scikit-learn

In this half-day tutorial we explore the hybrid approach to solving data analysis and machine learning problems: we will prepare and sample data on Hadoop using Scalding and then quickly analyze the sampled data on local computer using scikit-learn. Scalding is a leading Scala DSL for Hadoop development. Scalding allows expressing data transformations as sequence of operations on collections and the resulting code is easy to understand, succinct and expressive. Python is rapidly gaining popularity among Data practitioners and catching up with tools like MathLab and R. scikit-learn is The Machine Learning package for Python. Combined with python tools like iPython Notebooks and pandas, it allows amazingly convenient workflow for data analysis. Combining Hadoop and local workflows for data analysis brings the best of both worlds: the sheer computational power of Hadoop with agility of local development with scikit-learn.
