Machine Learning at Scale

In this course, you will gain theoretical and practical knowledge of Apache Spark’s architecture and its application to machine learning workloads within Databricks. You will learn when to use Spark for data preparation, model training, and deployment, while also gaining hands-on experience with Spark ML and pandas APIs on Spark. This course will introduce you to advanced concepts like hyperparameter tuning and scaling Optuna with Spark. This course will use features and concepts introduced in the associate course such as MLflow and Unity Catalog for comprehensive model packaging and governance. 


Note:

1. This course is the first in the series of Advanced Machine Learning.

2. For SCORM lecture files, please ensure that you close the SCORM window after completing the content. Do not click the ‘Next Lesson’ button, as doing so may prevent the SCORM module from being marked as complete.

Get Started with Databricks for Data Engineering - Mandarin Chinese

本课程介绍在 Databricks Data Intelligence Platform 上执行基本数据工程工作流所需的基础技能。您将浏览 workspace,使用 Unity Catalog,并学习数据工程师在 Databricks 上日常使用的核心构建模块。

本课程采用实践路径。您从熟悉 workspace 开始,然后针对每个主题完成配套的演示笔记本和实验室笔记本。演示部分将由讲师或引导式笔记本带您了解相关概念。

课程内容涵盖:

Databricks Data Intelligence Platform,以及 Databricks workspace、Unity Catalog 和笔记本之间的协作关系。

创建和管理 Delta Lake 表。

使用 INSERT、UPDATE 和 DELETE 修改数据。

浏览 UC 表的版本历史与 time travel 功能。

使用 LakeFlow Connect 的多种方式摄取数据:CTAS、上传 UI 以及 COPY INTO。

构建奖章架构管道,将数据依次经过铜牌、银牌和金牌层进行转换。

使用 LakeFlow Jobs 实现管道自动化。

(附加内容)使用 Apache Spark™ Declarative Pipelines 构建声明式管道。

完成本课程后,您将能够熟练创建 Delta Lake 表、向其中摄取数据、通过奖章管道对数据进行转换,并将整个流程自动化为定时任务。

注意:Databricks Academy 正在将 Databricks 环境中的课堂课程转为基于 notebook 的形式,并停止在讲座中使用幻灯片。您可以在 Vocareum 实验环境中访问课程 notebook。
