This book has been created for data scientists who want to see Machine learning in action and explore its real-world applications. Knowledge of programming (Python and R) and mathematics is advisable if you want to get started immediately.
This book explores an extensive range of Machine learning techniques, uncovering hidden tips and tricks for several types of data using practical real-world examples. While Machine learning can be highly theoretical, this book offers a refreshing hands-on approach without losing sight of the underlying principles.
We will cover the leading data science languages, Python and R, and the underrated but powerful Julia, as well as a range of big data platforms including Spark, Hadoop, and Mahout. Practical Machine Learning is an essential resource for modern data scientists who want to get to grips with Machine learning’s real-world application.
The book also explores cutting-edge advances in Machine learning, with worked examples and guidance on Deep learning and Reinforcement learning, providing you with practical demonstrations and samples that help take the theory–and mystery–out of even the most advanced Machine learning methodologies.
