William Benton leads a team of data scientists and engineers at Red Hat, where he has applied analytic techniques to problems ranging from forecasting cloud infrastructure costs to designing better cycling workouts.

In this talk, we’ll walk through the process of developing a new machine learning algorithm for Spark. We’ll start with the basics, by considering how we’d design a scale-out parallel implementation of our unsupervised learning technique. The bulk of the talk will focus on the details you need to know to turn an algorithm design into an efficient parallel implementation on Spark.
