Reviews of Spark Summit 2016 Talks -- Must-watches

Awesome Talks -- Watch it!

  1. Deep Dive: Apache Spark Memory Management - An excellent talk about Spark's memory management in the past releases and the upcoming 2.0. No code. The slides were awesome with a superb presentation style. Very informatory.
  2. A Deep Dive Into Structured Streaming -- a superb talk about the upcoming Structured Streaming in Spark 2.0.
  3. Structuring Spark: Dataframes, Datasets And Streaming -- another superb talk about the reasons for structuring Spark using Datasets by the one and only Michael Armbrust.
  4. Large-Scale Deep Learning with TensorFlow by Jeff Dean (Google) -- just yesterday I was thinking about feature vectors and how close they map to the real objects (they are supposed to represent) and that gave me the Aha moment that the more features the better but you need to be careful with over-featuring the model (as it may lead to only recognized things you've learnt the model to recognize and that's it). That was yesterday. Today I somehow came across this talk. It is very lively and interactive that I'm going to watch it again few times more. I'm pleasantly shocked by the possibilities TensorFlow brings. I wanna give it a try!
