Machine learning is a transformative field within artificial intelligence that enables computers to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for every task. Its applications are vast, impacting industries from healthcare and finance to entertainment and autonomous systems.
As these technologies become more integrated into daily life, understanding their fundamentals and being able to build models are increasingly valuable skills for developers, data scientists, and technologists.
About the book
This book is a collection of practical projects designed to introduce readers to machine learning using the Python programming language. It is intended for developers and learners who want to apply machine learning concepts hands-on.
The book begins by guiding readers through setting up a Python programming environment, assuming they may be starting from scratch, and then provides a conceptual introduction to machine learning. The core of the book consists of three project-based tutorials that build from fundamental to more advanced topics.
What you will learn
Readers will gain practical experience by building three distinct machine learning projects. You will learn how to set up a robust Python 3 development environment using pip and virtual environments. The projects will guide you through creating a machine learning classifier with Scikit-learn, building a neural network to recognize handwritten digits using TensorFlow, and developing a background in deep reinforcement learning by creating a bot for an Atari game with OpenAI Gym.
