1 — Scala ML Projects: Insurance Claims

In this series of posts I am going to show applications and practical example on how to use Scala and its functionalities. In particular, all the examples are taken from this book: Scala Machine Learning Projects.
I found Scala ML Projects a very interesting reading and I think it’s good to keep up an updated repository, where users can easily retrieve input files and being up to date with the current Scala updates.

I am currently running these notebooks with Scala 2.12. If you want to run them online you can use almond-scala. Almond is a fantastic project, which keeps up kernel for Scala and can be either run online through a SageMaker container or through their docker-image. Another option is to use the interactive sbt-scala. Asap I’ll provide a wee tour on all these resources, so everyone can start to learn Scala and (hopefully) enjoy it :)

The files for this chapter can be found here: https://github.com/Steboss/ScalaMLProjects/tree/master/1_insurance_claims

And here you can follow the notebook :)
