Distributed Function Minimization in Apache Spark

17 Sep 2019arXiv:1909.07922archive 2025-07-28

Andrea Schioppa

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.
