Writing this book shows great determination and knowledge in this field and we are proud that we are continually using this expertise to get the best digital experiences for our customers.

Apache Mahout is a scalable machine learning library with algorithms for content clustering, classification, and recommendations. It empowers users to analyse patterns in large, diverse, and complex datasets faster and is more scalable. However, implementing a successful machine learning application using Apache Mahout requires skills and knowledge that goes beyond the ability to perform basic programming.

This book is an all-inclusive guide to analysing large and complex datasets using Apache Mahout. It explains complicated but very effective machine learning algorithms simply, in relation to real-world practical examples.If you are a Java developer or data scientist and haven’t worked with Apache Mahout before and want to get up to speed on implementing machine learning on big data, then this is the perfect guide for you.
