Improving quality of life with Spark-empowered machine learning

We are in an age in which machine learning has increasing importance in our daily lives. Machine learning is put into action whenever your mobile map application automatically reminds you to leave for your next appointment because of unusual traffic situations. Besides personal assistants on your cell phones, wearable sport devices use machine-learning algorithms to propose personal training plans, and banks depend on accurate machine-learning models to detect malicious transactions. Healthcare, for instance, has also started to find helpful patterns in medical data using machine learning. Modern technologies allow for close monitoring of a patient's condition through a large volume of data provided by a number of sensors.
