Summary
Real-World Machine Learning is a practical guide designed to teach working developers the art of ML project execution. Without overdosing you on academic theory and complex mathematics, it introduces the day-to-day practice of machine learning, preparing you to successfully build and deploy powerful ML systems.
Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.
About the Technology
Machine learning systems help you find valuable insights and patterns in data, which you´d never recognize with traditional methods. In the real world, ML techniques give you a way to identify trends, forecast behavior, and make fact-based recommendations. It´s a hot and growing field, and up-to-speed ML developers are in demand.
About the Book
Real-World Machine Learning will teach you the concepts and techniques you need to be a successful machine learning practitioner without overdosing you on abstract theory and complex mathematics. By working through immediately relevant examples in Python, you´ll build skills in data acquisition and modeling, classification, and regression. You´ll also explore the most important tasks like model validation, optimization, scalability, and real-time streaming. When you´re done, you´ll be ready to successfully build, deploy, and maintain your own powerful ML systems.
What´s Inside
Predicting future behavior
Performance evaluation and optimization
Analyzing sentiment and making recommendations
