Spark 1.2 introduced a new package called `spark.ml`, which aims to provide a uniform set of
high-level APIs that help users create and tune practical machine learning pipelines.
@@ -154,6 +172,19 @@ Parameters belong to specific instances of `Estimator`s and `Transformer`s.
For example, if we have two `LogisticRegression` instances `lr1` and `lr2`, then we can build a `ParamMap` with both `maxIter` parameters specified: `ParamMap(lr1.maxIter -> 10, lr2.maxIter -> 20)`.
This is useful if there are two algorithms with the `maxIter` parameter in a `Pipeline`.
+# Algorithm Guides
+
+There are now several algorithms in the Pipelines API which are not in the lower-level MLlib API, so we link to documentation for them here. These algorithms are mostly feature transformers, which fit naturally into the `Transformer` abstraction in Pipelines, and ensembles, which fit naturally into the `Estimator` abstraction in the Pipelines.
