Challenging Web-Scale Graph Analytics with Apache Spark with Xiangrui MengDatabricks
Graph analytics has a wide range of applications, from information propagation and network flow optimization to fraud and anomaly detection. The rise of social networks and the Internet of Things has given us complex web-scale graphs with billions of vertices and edges. However, in order to extract the hidden gems within those graphs, you need tools to analyze the graphs easily and efficiently.
At Spark Summit 2016, Databricks introduced GraphFrames, which implemented graph queries and pattern matching on top of Spark SQL to simplify graph analytics. In this talk, you'll learn about work that has made graph algorithms in GraphFrames faster and more scalable. For example, new implementations like connected components have received algorithm improvements based on recent research, as well as performance improvements from Spark DataFrames. Discover lessons learned from scaling the implementation from millions to billions of nodes; compare its performance with other popular graph libraries; and hear about real-world applications.

Deep learning is making news across the country as one of the most promising techniques in machine learning research. However, these methods are complex to implement, finicky to tune, and state-of-the-art accuracy is only achieved by a few experts in the field. In this session, we give a beginner-friendly explanation of deep learning using neural networks—what it is, what it does, and how; and introduce the concept of deep features, which allows you to obtain great performance with reduced running times and data set sizes. We then show how these methods can easily be deployed on GPU instances (G2) on Amazon EC2.

Tutorial on Theory and Application of Generative Adversarial NetworksMLReview
Description
Generative adversarial network (GAN) has recently emerged as a promising generative modeling approach. It consists of a generative network and a discriminative network. Through the competition between the two networks, it learns to model the data distribution. In addition to modeling the image/video distribution in computer vision problems, the framework finds use in defining visual concept using examples. To a large extent, it eliminates the need of hand-crafting objective functions for various computer vision problems. In this tutorial, we will present an overview of generative adversarial network research. We will cover several recent theoretical studies as well as training techniques and will also cover several vision applications of generative adversarial networks.

Graph Representation Learning with Deep Embedding Approach:
Graphs are commonly used data structure for representing the real-world relationships, e.g., molecular structure, knowledge graphs, social and communication networks. The effective encoding of graphical information is essential to the success of such applications. In this talk I’ll first describe a general deep learning framework, namely structure2vec, for end to end graph feature representation learning. Then I’ll present the direct application of this model on graph problems on different scales, including community detection and molecule graph classification/regression. We then extend the embedding idea to temporal evolving user-product interaction graph for recommendation. Finally I’ll present our latest work on leveraging the reinforcement learning technique for graph combinatorial optimization, including vertex cover problem for social influence maximization and traveling salesman problem for scheduling management.

5 Critical Steps to Clean Your Data Swamp When Migrating Off of HadoopDatabricks
In this session, learn how to quickly supplement your on-premises Hadoop environment with a simple, open, and collaborative cloud architecture that enables you to generate greater value with scaled application of analytics and AI on all your data. You will also learn five critical steps for a successful migration to the Databricks Lakehouse Platform along with the resources available to help you begin to re-skill your data teams.
Democratizing Data Quality Through a Centralized PlatformDatabricks
Bad data leads to bad decisions and broken customer experiences. Organizations depend on complete and accurate data to power their business, maintain efficiency, and uphold customer trust. With thousands of datasets and pipelines running, how do we ensure that all data meets quality standards, and that expectations are clear between producers and consumers? Investing in shared, flexible components and practices for monitoring data health is crucial for a complex data organization to rapidly and effectively scale.
At Zillow, we built a centralized platform to meet our data quality needs across stakeholders. The platform is accessible to engineers, scientists, and analysts, and seamlessly integrates with existing data pipelines and data discovery tools. In this presentation, we will provide an overview of our platform’s capabilities, including:
Giving producers and consumers the ability to define and view data quality expectations using a self-service onboarding portal
Performing data quality validations using libraries built to work with spark
Dynamically generating pipelines that can be abstracted away from users
Flagging data that doesn’t meet quality standards at the earliest stage and giving producers the opportunity to resolve issues before use by downstream consumers
Exposing data quality metrics alongside each dataset to provide producers and consumers with a comprehensive picture of health over time
Learn to Use Databricks for Data ScienceDatabricks
Data scientists face numerous challenges throughout the data science workflow that hinder productivity. As organizations continue to become more data-driven, a collaborative environment is more critical than ever — one that provides easier access and visibility into the data, reports and dashboards built against the data, reproducibility, and insights uncovered within the data.. Join us to hear how Databricks’ open and collaborative platform simplifies data science by enabling you to run all types of analytics workloads, from data preparation to exploratory analysis and predictive analytics, at scale — all on one unified platform.
Why APM Is Not the Same As ML MonitoringDatabricks
Application performance monitoring (APM) has become the cornerstone of software engineering allowing engineering teams to quickly identify and remedy production issues. However, as the world moves to intelligent software applications that are built using machine learning, traditional APM quickly becomes insufficient to identify and remedy production issues encountered in these modern software applications.
As a lead software engineer at NewRelic, my team built high-performance monitoring systems including Insights, Mobile, and SixthSense. As I transitioned to building ML Monitoring software, I found the architectural principles and design choices underlying APM to not be a good fit for this brand new world. In fact, blindly following APM designs led us down paths that would have been better left unexplored.
In this talk, I draw upon my (and my team’s) experience building an ML Monitoring system from the ground up and deploying it on customer workloads running large-scale ML training with Spark as well as real-time inference systems. I will highlight how the key principles and architectural choices of APM don’t apply to ML monitoring. You’ll learn why, understand what ML Monitoring can successfully borrow from APM, and hear what is required to build a scalable, robust ML Monitoring architecture.
The Function, the Context, and the Data—Enabling ML Ops at Stitch FixDatabricks
Autonomy and ownership are core to working at Stitch Fix, particularly on the Algorithms team. We enable data scientists to deploy and operate their models independently, with minimal need for handoffs or gatekeeping. By writing a simple function and calling out to an intuitive API, data scientists can harness a suite of platform-provided tooling meant to make ML operations easy. In this talk, we will dive into the abstractions the Data Platform team has built to enable this. We will go over the interface data scientists use to specify a model and what that hooks into, including online deployment, batch execution on Spark, and metrics tracking and visualization.
Stage Level Scheduling Improving Big Data and AI IntegrationDatabricks
In this talk, I will dive into the stage level scheduling feature added to Apache Spark 3.1. Stage level scheduling extends upon Project Hydrogen by improving big data ETL and AI integration and also enables multiple other use cases. It is beneficial any time the user wants to change container resources between stages in a single Apache Spark application, whether those resources are CPU, Memory or GPUs. One of the most popular use cases is enabling end-to-end scalable Deep Learning and AI to efficiently use GPU resources. In this type of use case, users read from a distributed file system, do data manipulation and filtering to get the data into a format that the Deep Learning algorithm needs for training or inference and then sends the data into a Deep Learning algorithm. Using stage level scheduling combined with accelerator aware scheduling enables users to seamlessly go from ETL to Deep Learning running on the GPU by adjusting the container requirements for different stages in Spark within the same application. This makes writing these applications easier and can help with hardware utilization and costs.
There are other ETL use cases where users want to change CPU and memory resources between stages, for instance there is data skew or perhaps the data size is much larger in certain stages of the application. In this talk, I will go over the feature details, cluster requirements, the API and use cases. I will demo how the stage level scheduling API can be used by Horovod to seamlessly go from data preparation to training using the Tensorflow Keras API using GPUs.
The talk will also touch on other new Apache Spark 3.1 functionality, such as pluggable caching, which can be used to enable faster dataframe access when operating from GPUs.

In this talk, I would like to introduce an open-source tool built by our team that simplifies the data conversion from Apache Spark to deep learning frameworks.
Imagine you have a large dataset, say 20 GBs, and you want to use it to train a TensorFlow model. Before feeding the data to the model, you need to clean and preprocess your data using Spark. Now you have your dataset in a Spark DataFrame. When it comes to the training part, you may have the problem: How can I convert my Spark DataFrame to some format recognized by my TensorFlow model?
The existing data conversion process can be tedious. For example, to convert an Apache Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset file format, you need to either save the Apache Spark DataFrame on a distributed filesystem in parquet format and load the converted data with third-party tools such as Petastorm, or save it directly in TFRecord files with spark-tensorflow-connector and load it back using TFRecordDataset. Both approaches take more than 20 lines of code to manage the intermediate data files, rely on different parsing syntax, and require extra attention for handling vector columns in the Spark DataFrames. In short, all these engineering frictions greatly reduced the data scientists’ productivity.
The Databricks Machine Learning team contributed a new Spark Dataset Converter API to Petastorm to simplify these tedious data conversion process steps. With the new API, it takes a few lines of code to convert a Spark DataFrame to a TensorFlow Dataset or a PyTorch DataLoader with default parameters.
In the talk, I will use an example to show how to use the Spark Dataset Converter to train a Tensorflow model and how simple it is to go from single-node training to distributed training on Databricks.
Scaling your Data Pipelines with Apache Spark on KubernetesDatabricks
There is no doubt Kubernetes has emerged as the next generation of cloud native infrastructure to support a wide variety of distributed workloads. Apache Spark has evolved to run both Machine Learning and large scale analytics workloads. There is growing interest in running Apache Spark natively on Kubernetes. By combining the flexibility of Kubernetes and scalable data processing with Apache Spark, you can run any data and machine pipelines on this infrastructure while effectively utilizing resources at disposal.
In this talk, Rajesh Thallam and Sougata Biswas will share how to effectively run your Apache Spark applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) and Google Cloud Dataproc, orchestrate the data and machine learning pipelines with managed Apache Airflow on GKE (Google Cloud Composer). Following topics will be covered: – Understanding key traits of Apache Spark on Kubernetes- Things to know when running Apache Spark on Kubernetes such as autoscaling- Demonstrate running analytics pipelines on Apache Spark orchestrated with Apache Airflow on Kubernetes cluster.
Scaling and Unifying SciKit Learn and Apache Spark PipelinesDatabricks
Pipelines have become ubiquitous, as the need for stringing multiple functions to compose applications has gained adoption and popularity. Common pipeline abstractions such as “fit” and “transform” are even shared across divergent platforms such as Python Scikit-Learn and Apache Spark.
Scaling pipelines at the level of simple functions is desirable for many AI applications, however is not directly supported by Ray’s parallelism primitives. In this talk, Raghu will describe a pipeline abstraction that takes advantage of Ray’s compute model to efficiently scale arbitrarily complex pipeline workflows. He will demonstrate how this abstraction cleanly unifies pipeline workflows across multiple platforms such as Scikit-Learn and Spark, and achieves nearly optimal scale-out parallelism on pipelined computations.
Attendees will learn how pipelined workflows can be mapped to Ray’s compute model and how they can both unify and accelerate their pipelines with Ray.
Sawtooth Windows for Feature AggregationsDatabricks
In this talk about zipline, we will introduce a new type of windowing construct called a sawtooth window. We will describe various properties about sawtooth windows that we utilize to achieve online-offline consistency, while still maintaining high-throughput, low-read latency and tunable write latency for serving machine learning features.We will also talk about a simple deployment strategy for correcting feature drift – due operations that are not “abelian groups”, that operate over change data.
We want to present multiple anti patterns utilizing Redis in unconventional ways to get the maximum out of Apache Spark.All examples presented are tried and tested in production at Scale at Adobe. The most common integration is spark-redis which interfaces with Redis as a Dataframe backing Store or as an upstream for Structured Streaming. We deviate from the common use cases to explore where Redis can plug gaps while scaling out high throughput applications in Spark.
Niche 1 : Long Running Spark Batch Job – Dispatch New Jobs by polling a Redis Queue
· Why?
o Custom queries on top a table; We load the data once and query N times
· Why not Structured Streaming
· Working Solution using Redis
Niche 2 : Distributed Counters
· Problems with Spark Accumulators
· Utilize Redis Hashes as distributed counters
· Precautions for retries and speculative execution
· Pipelining to improve performance
Re-imagine Data Monitoring with whylogs and SparkDatabricks
In the era of microservices, decentralized ML architectures and complex data pipelines, data quality has become a bigger challenge than ever. When data is involved in complex business processes and decisions, bad data can, and will, affect the bottom line. As a result, ensuring data quality across the entire ML pipeline is both costly, and cumbersome while data monitoring is often fragmented and performed ad hoc. To address these challenges, we built whylogs, an open source standard for data logging. It is a lightweight data profiling library that enables end-to-end data profiling across the entire software stack. The library implements a language and platform agnostic approach to data quality and data monitoring. It can work with different modes of data operations, including streaming, batch and IoT data.
In this talk, we will provide an overview of the whylogs architecture, including its lightweight statistical data collection approach and various integrations. We will demonstrate how the whylogs integration with Apache Spark achieves large scale data profiling, and we will show how users can apply this integration into existing data and ML pipelines.
Raven: End-to-end Optimization of ML Prediction QueriesDatabricks
Machine learning (ML) models are typically part of prediction queries that consist of a data processing part (e.g., for joining, filtering, cleaning, featurization) and an ML part invoking one or more trained models. In this presentation, we identify significant and unexplored opportunities for optimization. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first effort to look at prediction queries holistically, optimizing across both the ML and SQL components.
We will present Raven, an end-to-end optimizer for prediction queries. Raven relies on a unified intermediate representation that captures both data processing and ML operators in a single graph structure.
This allows us to introduce optimization rules that
(i) reduce unnecessary computations by passing information between the data processing and ML operators
(ii) leverage operator transformations (e.g., turning a decision tree to a SQL expression or an equivalent neural network) to map operators to the right execution engine, and
(iii) integrate compiler techniques to take advantage of the most efficient hardware backend (e.g., CPU, GPU) for each operator.
We have implemented Raven as an extension to Spark’s Catalyst optimizer to enable the optimization of SparkSQL prediction queries. Our implementation also allows the optimization of prediction queries in SQL Server. As we will show, Raven is capable of improving prediction query performance on Apache Spark and SQL Server by up to 13.1x and 330x, respectively. For complex models, where GPU acceleration is beneficial, Raven provides up to 8x speedup compared to state-of-the-art systems. As part of the presentation, we will also give a demo showcasing Raven in action.
Processing Large Datasets for ADAS Applications using Apache SparkDatabricks
Semantic segmentation is the classification of every pixel in an image/video. The segmentation partitions a digital image into multiple objects to simplify/change the representation of the image into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze [1][2]. The technique has a wide variety of applications ranging from perception in autonomous driving scenarios to cancer cell segmentation for medical diagnosis.
Exponential growth in the datasets that require such segmentation is driven by improvements in the accuracy and quality of the sensors generating the data extending to 3D point cloud data. This growth is further compounded by exponential advances in cloud technologies enabling the storage and compute available for such applications. The need for semantically segmented datasets is a key requirement to improve the accuracy of inference engines that are built upon them.
Streamlining the accuracy and efficiency of these systems directly affects the value of the business outcome for organizations that are developing such functionalities as a part of their AI strategy.
This presentation details workflows for labeling, preprocessing, modeling, and evaluating performance/accuracy. Scientists and engineers leverage domain-specific features/tools that support the entire workflow from labeling the ground truth, handling data from a wide variety of sources/formats, developing models and finally deploying these models. Users can scale their deployments optimally on GPU-based cloud infrastructure to build accelerated training and inference pipelines while working with big datasets. These environments are optimized for engineers to develop such functionality with ease and then scale against large datasets with Spark-based clusters on the cloud.

Levelwise PageRank with Loop-Based Dead End Handling Strategy : SHORT REPORT ...Subhajit Sahu
Abstract — Levelwise PageRank is an alternative method of PageRank computation which decomposes the input graph into a directed acyclic block-graph of strongly connected components, and processes them in topological order, one level at a time. This enables calculation for ranks in a distributed fashion without per-iteration communication, unlike the standard method where all vertices are processed in each iteration. It however comes with a precondition of the absence of dead ends in the input graph. Here, the native non-distributed performance of Levelwise PageRank was compared against Monolithic PageRank on a CPU as well as a GPU. To ensure a fair comparison, Monolithic PageRank was also performed on a graph where vertices were split by components. Results indicate that Levelwise PageRank is about as fast as Monolithic PageRank on the CPU, but quite a bit slower on the GPU. Slowdown on the GPU is likely caused by a large submission of small workloads, and expected to be non-issue when the computation is performed on massive graphs.
Techniques to optimize the pagerank algorithm usually fall in two categories. One is to try reducing the work per iteration, and the other is to try reducing the number of iterations. These goals are often at odds with one another. Skipping computation on vertices which have already converged has the potential to save iteration time. Skipping in-identical vertices, with the same in-links, helps reduce duplicate computations and thus could help reduce iteration time. Road networks often have chains which can be short-circuited before pagerank computation to improve performance. Final ranks of chain nodes can be easily calculated. This could reduce both the iteration time, and the number of iterations. If a graph has no dangling nodes, pagerank of each strongly connected component can be computed in topological order. This could help reduce the iteration time, no. of iterations, and also enable multi-iteration concurrency in pagerank computation. The combination of all of the above methods is the STICD algorithm. [sticd] For dynamic graphs, unchanged components whose ranks are unaffected can be skipped altogether.

9. Cost function
Source: https://bit.ly/2IoAGzL
For this linear regression example, to
determine the best (slope of the line) for
we can calculate the cost function, such as
Mean Square Error, Mean absolute error,
Mean bias error, SVM Loss, etc.
For this example, we’ll use sum of squared
absolute differences
y = x ⋅ p
p
cost =
∑
|t − y|2
15. Hyperparameters:ActivationFunctions?
• Good starting point: ReLU
• Note many neural networks samples: Keras MNIST, TensorFlow CIFAR10 Pruning, etc.
• Note that each activation function has its own strengths and weaknesses. A good quote
on activation functions from CS231N summarizes the choice well:
“What neuron type should I use?” Use the ReLU non-linearity, be careful with your learning rates
and possibly monitor the fraction of “dead” units in a network. If this concerns you, give Leaky
ReLU or Maxout a try. Never use sigmoid. Try tanh, but expect it to work worse than ReLU/
Maxout.
20. Backpropagation

• Backpropagation: calculate the
gradient of the cost function in a
neural network
• Used by gradient descent optimization
algorithm to adjust weight of neurons
• Also known as backward propagation

descent, if all values are positive then during
backpropagation the weights will become all

28. ConvolutionalNeuralNetworks
• Similar to Artificial Neural Networks but CNNs (or ConvNets) make explicit
assumptions that the input are images
• Regular neural networks do not scale well against images
• E.g. CIFAR-10 images are 32x32x3 (32 width, 32 height, 3 color channels) =
3072 weights – somewhat manageable
• A larger image of 200x200x3 = 120,000 weights
• CNNs have neurons arranged in 3D: width, height, depth.
• Neurons in a layer will only be connected to a small region of the layer before
it, i.e. NOT all of the neurons in a fully-connected manner.
• Final output layer for CIFAR-10 is 1x1x10 as we will reduce the full image into
a single vector of class scores, arranged along the depth dimension
