Use R to run Better Algorithms on Big Data

Key takeaways

The post announced a meetup where H2O's resident R and math hacker Anqi Fu demonstrated the R API for H2O.
The post said early H2O users, community members, and customers had been invoking GLM, Random Forest, and K-means from an R console or RStudio.
The meetup covered cleaning a small and a big dataset in HDFS using R, then building models, predicting, and plotting entirely from R.

Our resident R users will demonstrate how to use the R package and invoke big data modeling entirely from R.

In this session our resident R & Math hacker, Anqi Fu will demonstrate the R API for H2O. Early users, community and customers of H2O have been invoking GLM, Random Forest and K-means from an RConsole or RStudio. In this meetup we’ll look at the API and take a small and big dataset in HDFS and clean it using R, build models, predict and plot entirely from R. Users will experience speed of algorithms in H2O, without having to learn a New API.
