Your comprehensive entry-level guide to machine learning
While machine learning expertise doesnasquo;t quite mean you can create your own Turing Test-proof androidfdash;as in the movie Ex Machinaodash;it is a form of artificial intelligence and one of the most exciting technological means of identifying opportunities and solving problems fast and on a large scale. Anyone who masters the principles of machine learning is mastering a big part of our tech future and opening up incredible new directions in careers that include fraud detection, optimizing search results, serving real-time ads, credit- scoring, building accurate and sophisticated pricing modelsidash;and way, way more.
Unlike most machine learning books, the fully updated 2nd Edition of Machine Learning For Dummies doesntsquo;t assume you have years of experience using programming languages such as Python (R source is also included in a downloadable form with comments and explanations), but lets you in on the ground floor, covering the entry-level materials that will get you up and running building models you need to perform practical tasks. It takes a look at the underlyinghdash;and fascinatinghdash;math principles that power machine learning but also shows that you donpsquo;t need to be a math whiz to build fun new tools and apply them to your work and study.
Understand the history of AI and machine learning
Work with Python 3.8 and TensorFlow 2.x (and R as a download)
Build and test your own models
Use the latest datasets, rather than the worn out data found in other books
Apply machine learning to real problems
Whether you want to learn for college or to enhance your business or career performance, this friendly beginneresquo;s guide is your best introduction to machine learning, allowing you to become quickly confident using this amazing and fast-developing technology thatrsquo;s impacting lives for the better all over the world.
