Using powerful algorithms and techniques offered by machine learning you can automate any analytical model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book examines a variety of machine learning models including popular machine learning algorithms such as k-nearest neighbors, logistic regression, naive Bayes, k-means, decision trees, and artificial neural networks. It discusses data preprocessing, hyperparameter optimization, and ensemble methods. You will build systems that classify documents, recognize images, detect ads, and more. You will learn to use scikit-learn's API to extract features from categorical variables, text and images; evaluate model performance, and develop an intuition for how to improve your model's performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBy the end of this book, you will master all required concepts of scikit-learn to build efficient models at work to carry out advanced tasks with the practical approach.\u003c\/p\u003eStyle and approach\u003cp\u003eThis book is motivated by the belief that you do not understand something until you can describe it simply. Work through toy problems to develop your understanding of the learning algorithms and models, then apply your learnings to real-life problems.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Packt Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47140213391600,"sku":"9781788298490","price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781788298490_p0.jpg?v=1763739271","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781788298490","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
