This document discusses machine learning with Spark. It provides an overview of loading taxi trip and fare data from CSV files stored in S3 into a Spark DataFrame. It then performs data transformations on the DataFrame like filtering, adding new columns, and assembling feature vectors. Finally, it trains a linear regression model in a Spark ML pipeline using the transformed data, splitting it into training and test sets. It provides parameters for the linear regression and trains the model, making predictions on the test data. The document concludes by offering tips for getting started with Spark ML, including setting up a development environment and finding open datasets to experiment with.
