This book primarily aims to provide an in-depth understanding of recent advances in Big Data computing technologies, methodologies, and applications along with introductory details of Big Data computing models such as Apache Hadoop, MapReduce, Hive, Pig, Mahout in-memory storage systems, NoSQL databases, and Big Data streaming services such as Apache Spark, Kafka, and so forth. It also covers developments in Big Data computing applications such as Machine Learning, Deep Learning, graph processing, and many others. Big Data has become a critical issue for businesses to leverage their data assets to drive business decisions considering the exponential growth of data in today’s age. Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) have emerged as powerful tools to extract insights and value from Big Data. Here we will explore a few of the key applications of ML and AI in Big Data. Predictive analytics is one of the most significant applications of ML in Big Data. It involves using existing data to predict future events or behaviors. Predictive analytics may be used to predict future sales, identify customers at risk of churning, or predict the likelihood of a customer purchasing a specific product . In predictive analytics, algorithms such as decision trees, random forests, and neural networks are commonly used.

This is a project book that guides you through the process of building a traditional Access desktop database that uses one Access database as the front-end (queries, reports, and forms) and another Access database to contain the tables and data. By separating the data from the rest of the database, the Access database can be easily shared by multiple users over a network. When you build a database correctly at the outset, later this database can be migrated to another system with fewer issues and fewer objects that need to be redone. Microsoft Access has been the top database management solution for individuals and businesses for over two decades. Many of today’s database systems started as small Access databases or were ported from Microsoft Excel spreadsheets. With Microsoft’s commitment to continuing the development of the product, Access keeps getting better with each new update. Across all types and sizes of organizations, people continue to utilize Access to collect, track, and analyze data from multiple sources and build useful forms and reports. Non-devel-opers are creating various Access databases because with Access they can quickly move forward and get their job done without requiring much support from the IT (Information Technology) department. Access 365 Project Book: Hands-On Database Creation is a hands-on database project that guides you through the process of building a traditional Access desktop database that is later split into two files: a back-end database that contains tables with data, and a front-end database that contains forms, reports, queries, macros, and code modules.
