Machine Learning Over Streaming Kafka® Data—Part 2: Introduction to Batch Training and TensorFlow
As I mentioned in Part 1 of this series, we are looking at Machine Learning (ML) over streaming Apache Kafka® data. But rather than just jumping in—and immediately going over a fast-flowing waterfall (in a barrel, which people have actually attempted!)—I first need to get a good understanding of TensorFlow with some “still” (static and unchanging) data and batch learning to start with. This will be easier and repeatable before we encounter Kafka and streaming and changing data.
