Fraud detection in real-time with Spark with Mehrdad Pazooki

Presentation on Saturday at 4:25 p.m. to 4:55 p.m. in Room 1160.

We will explore ways of detecting fraud in a stream of data. In a stream of data we want to make sure that we won't receive too many requests from the same source or we might be curious about finding a specific pattern. In this talk we will see how Spark can help us with the help of probabilistic data structures.
