Distributed Function Minimization in Apache Spark

Machine Learning 2019-09-18 v1 Optimization and Control Machine Learning

Abstract

We report on an open-source implementation for distributed function minimization on top of Apache Spark by using gradient and quasi-Newton methods. We show-case it with an application to Optimal Transport and some scalability tests on classification and regression problems.
