Chapter 10. Text Mining at Scale

In this chapter, we will go back to some of the libraries we learned about in the previous chapters, but this time, we want to learn to learn how these libraries will scale up with bigdata. We assume that you have a fair bit of an idea about big data, Hadoop and Hive. We will explore how some of the Python libraries, such as NLTK, scikit-learn, and pandas can be used on a Hadoop cluster with a large amount of unstructured data.

We will cover some of the most common use cases in the context of NLP and text mining, and we will also provide a code snippet that will be helpful for you to get your job done. We will look at three major examples that can capture the vast majority of your text mining problems. We will tell ...
