This book presents deep learning techniques, concepts, and algorithms to classify and analyze big data. Further, it offers an introductory level understanding of the new programming languages and tools used to analyze big data in real-time, such as Hadoop, SPARK, and GRAPHX. Big data analytics using traditional techniques face various challenges, such as fast, accurate and efficient processing of big data in real-time. In addition, the Internet of Things is progressively increasing in various fields, like smart cities, smart homes, and e-health. As the enormous number of connected devices generate huge amounts of data every day, we need sophisticated algorithms to deal, organize, and classify this data in less processing time and space. Similarly, existing techniques and algorithms for deep learning in big data field have several advantages thanks to the two main branches of the deep learning, i.e. convolution and deep belief networks. This book offers insights into these techniques and applications based on these two types of deep learning. Further, it helps students, researchers, and newcomers understand big data analytics based on deep learning approaches. It also discusses various machine learning techniques in concatenation with the deep learning paradigm to support high-end data processing, data classifications, and real-time data processing issues. The classification and presentation are kept quite simple to help the readers and students grasp the basics concepts of various deep learning paradigms and frameworks. It mainly focuses on theory rather than the mathematical background of the deep learning concepts. The book consists of 5 chapters, beginning with an introductory explanation of big data and deep learning techniques, followed by integration of big data and deep learning techniques and lastly the future directions.

Machine Learning models are widely used in different fields such as Artificial Intelligence, Business, Clinical and Biological Sciences which includes self-driving cars, predictive models, disease prediction, genome sequencing, spam filtering, product recommendation, fraud detection and image recognition . It has gained importance due to its capabilities of handling large volume of data, prediction and classification accuracy and validation procedures. Machine Learning models are built on the basis of statistical and mathematical algorithms. One important aspect of machine learning is it does not stick to standard algorithm throughout modeling process instead it learns from the data over a period of time and improves the accuracy of the model. Classification and prediction tasks are carried out based on the characteristics, patterns and relationship of the features present in the data set. Machine learning model also forms the basis of Deep Learning models. Machine Learning models involve supervised learning, unsupervised learning, semi supervised learning and reinforcement learning algorithms. Data Scientists analyze, model and visualize data and provide actionable insights to the decision makers. Machine learning algorithms and tools help the data scientist to carry out these tasks with the help of software such R and Python. This book provides an overview of Machine Learning models, algorithms and its application in different fields through the use of R Software. It also provides short introduction to R software for the benefit of users. Author assumes the users have basic descriptive and inferential statistical knowledge which is essential for building Machine Learning models.

Comprehensive Coverage of the Entire Area of Classification Research on the problem of classification tends to be fragmented across such areas as pattern recognition, database, data mining, and machine learning. Addressing the work of these different communities in a unified way, Data Classification: Algorithms and Applications explores the underlying algorithms of classification as well as applications of classification in a variety of problem domains, including text, multimedia, social network, and biological data. This comprehensive book focuses on three primary aspects of data classification: Methods-The book first describes common techniques used for classification, including probabilistic methods, decision trees, rule-based methods, instance-based methods, support vector machine methods, and neural networks. Domains-The book then examines specific methods used for data domains such as multimedia, text, time-series, network, discrete sequence, and uncertain data. It also covers large data sets and data streams due to the recent importance of the big data paradigm. Variations-The book concludes with insight on variations of the classification process. It discusses ensembles, rare-class learning, distance function learning, active learning, visual learning, transfer learning, and semi-supervised learning as well as evaluation aspects of classifiers.
