Machine Learning With Python For Everyone (pdf)

Description

Mark begins by discussing machine learning and what it can do; introducing key mathematical and computational topics in an approachable manner; and walking you through the first steps in building, training, and evaluating learning systems. Step by step, you’ll fill out the components of a practical learning system, broaden your toolbox, and explore some of the field’s most sophisticated and exciting techniques. Whether you’re a student, analyst, scientist, or hobbyist, this guide’s insights will be applicable to every learning system you ever build or use.

• Understand machine learning algorithms, models, and core machine learning concepts
• Classify examples with classifiers, and quantify examples with regressors
• Realistically assess performance of machine learning systems
• Use feature engineering to smooth rough data into useful forms
• Chain multiple components into one system and tune its performance
• Apply machine learning techniques to images and text
• Connect the core concepts to neural networks and graphical models
• Leverage the Python scikit-learn library and other powerful tools
