Serving Real-Time Machine Learning Predictions on Amazon EMR

Serving Real-Time Machine Learning Predictions on Amazon EMR

The typical progression for creating and using a trained model for recommendations falls into two general areas: training the model and hosting the model. Model training has become a well-known standard practice. We want to highlight one of many ways to host those recommendations (for example, see the Analyzing Genomics Data at Scale using R, AWS Lambda, and Amazon API Gateway post).In this post, we look at one possible way to host a trained ALS model on Amazon EMR using Apache Spark to serve movie predictions in real time. It is a continuation of two recent posts that are prerequisite: In future posts we will cover other alternatives for serving real-time machine-learning predictions, namely AWS Lambda and Amazon EC2 Container Service, by running the prediction functions locally and loading the…
