Introduction The tutorial previously covered, introduced you to using a single input dataset in a MapReduce program for a required problem statement. What if we wanted to handle more than one input source? In this post, we will be covering MapReduce Joins and their implementation. …

Introduction Over the last tutorials, we learnt how to write MapReduce programs for simple counting and sorting problem statements. This article would be an extension of the same except this time we will be performing the average operation. You can checkout the previous tutorials here. Data The data we will be using…

Introduction In the previous post, we covered a basic problem statement covering a MapReduce problem to count the number of distinct values of an attribute (movie rating) in the ML-100k dataset. You can find the previous post here. In this post, let’s go a step further and understand how we can…

Introduction Hadoop is an open source framework that helps to store and process large datasets. It uses distributed storage and parallel processing to break down data into smaller workloads that are worked on by programming models. I have decided to document my progress in learning more about the Hadoop ecosystem through…

Introduction In the previous article we dived into the fundamental theory behind standard backpropagation and also introduced the different aspects that are responsible for practically optimizing the process. If you need a small recap or haven’t read it yet, you can check it out here. …

Introduction In the previous article, we explored the concepts behind generalization and how a simple predictive learning algorithm works by demonstrating an example and visualizing its outputs. If you haven’t read it yet, you can find it here. The second part of this blog series, will focus on the theory behind…

Introduction Ever since I started exploring various fundamental concepts in the vast field of machine learning, I started coming across some incredible research papers that simply fascinated me to dive deeper into them. …

In two months, a WordPress blog of mine turns six years old. And yes, I’m as surprised as you are. Until a few days ago, ‘vaishnavinandakumar.wordpress.com’ was called ‘anonymousindian29’. Now before you laugh, you ought to know that I created this blog when I was fourteen years old. My previous…
