ICT707 Data Science Practice - University of the Sunshine Coast
Assignment Task
This assignment consists of two deliverables, being:
• One code implementation. This requires a zip file which should include:
o The code file in Jupyter Notebook format.
o Relevant data set files.
o A pdf or HTML file which is printed/converted from your Notebook after having all cells executed.
• A report. The report must be uploaded as a separate file.
Part I - PySpark source code
Important Note:
• For code reproduction, your code must be self-contained. That is, it should not require other libraries besides PySpark environment we have used in the semester. The data files are packaged properly with your code file.
• The data sets used in the lecture slides should not be used as the data set of the assignment. This will result in 0 mark for the coding component.
In this component, we need to utilise Python 3 and PySpark to complete the following data analysis tasks:
1. Exploratory data analysis
2. Recommendation engine
3. Classification
You need to choose a dataset from Kaggle (https://www.kaggle.com/datasets) to complete these tasks. Remember to include the data set file in you source code submission.
Note: In your notebook, please use Heading 1 Markdown cell to separate each sub task.
Task I.1: Exploratory data analysis
This subtask requires you to explore your dataset by
• telling its number of rows and columns,
• doing the data cleaning (missing values or duplicated records) if necessary
• selecting 3 columns, and drawing 1 plot (e.g. bar chart, histogram, boxplot, etc.) for each to summarise it
Task I.2: Recommendation engine
This subtask requires you to implement a recommender system on Collaborative filtering with Alternative Least Squares Algorithm. You need to include
• Model training and predictions
• Model evaluation using MSE
Task I.3: Classification
This subtask requires you to implement a classification system with Logistic regression. You need to include
• Logistic Regression model training
• Model evaluation
Part II -Report
You are required to write a report with the following content:
• Provide a high-level survey on the advances of data science in the past 2 years.
• Compare the features of Spark version 2.4 that we used this semester and the new version 3.0.
• Explain your design and implementation of the machine learning parts in your code, including the following topics:
o Background of your selected data set
o For each task, which learning algorithm is used and what are its key parameters and how you set them up
o For each task, provide comments/evaluation for the model learnt
Your report should use the following template:
Table of Contents
1.0 Advancement of Data Science (500 words)
2.0 Comparison of Spark 2.4 and 3.0 (250 words)
Machine Learning Implementation (250 words)

Assignment Advice
This assignment will take several weeks to complete and will require a good understanding of machine learning and PySpark for successful completion. It is imperative that students take heed of the following points in relation to doing this assignment:
1. Ensure that you clearly understand the requirements for the assignment - what must be done and what are the deliverables.
2. If you do not understand any of the assignment requirements - Please ASK your tutor.
3. Each time you work on any aspect of the assignment reread the assignment requirements to ensure that what is required is clearly understood.
4. We have practiced nearly all coding tasks in DataCamp before. If you have any difficulty, redoing the practices in DataCamp is recommended.
5. Prior to submitting your code, you should ensure not only that it executes as required, but also looks professional. It is expected that you adhere to python standards for naming and indenting. All methods should be adequately documented such that another programmer examining your code will readily know what the code is doing.
