Synopsis

Get more from your data with the power of Python machine learning systems

Key Features:

• Build your own Python-based machine learning systems tailored to solve any problem
• Discover how Python offers a multiple context solution for create machine learning systems
• Practical scenarios using the key Python machine learning libraries to successfully implement in your projects

Book Description:

Using machine learning to gain deeper insights from data is a key skill required by modern application developers and analysts alike. Python is a wonderful language to develop machine learning applications. As a dynamic language, it allows for fast exploration and experimentation. With its excellent collection of open source machine learning libraries you can focus on the task at hand while being able to quickly try out many ideas.

This book shows you exactly how to find patterns in your raw data. You will start by brushing up on your Python machine learning knowledge and introducing libraries. You'll quickly get to grips with serious, real-world projects on datasets, using modeling, creating recommendation systems. Later on, the book covers advanced topics such as topic modeling, basket analysis, and cloud computing. These will extend your abilities and enable you to create large complex systems.

With this book, you gain the tools and understanding required to build your own systems, tailored to solve your real-world data analysis problems.

What You Will Learn:

• Build a classification system that can be applied to text, images, or sounds
• Use NumPy, SciPy, scikit-learn - scientific Python open source libraries for scientific computing and machine learning
• Explore the mahotas library for image processing and computer vision
• Build a topic model for the whole of Wikipedia
• Employ Amazon Web Services to run analysis on the cloud
• Debug machine learning problems
• Get to grips with recommendations using basket analysis
• Recommend products to users based on past purchases

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Luis Pedro Coelho

Luis Pedro Coelho is a computational biologist: someone who uses computers as a tool to understand biological systems. In particular, Luis analyzes DNA from microbial communities to characterize their behavior. Luis has also worked extensively in bioimage informatics the application of machine learning techniques for the analysis of images of biological specimens. His main focus is on the processing and integration of large-scale datasets. Luis has a PhD from Carnegie Mellon University, one of the leading universities in the world in the area of machine learning. He is the author of several scientific publications. Luis started developing open source software in 1998 as a way to apply real code to what he was learning in his computer science courses at the Technical University of Lisbon. In 2004, he started developing in Python and has contributed to several open source libraries in this language. He is the lead developer on the popular computer vision package for Python and mahotas, as well as the contributor of several machine learning codes. Luis currently divides his time between Luxembourg and Heidelberg.

Willi Richert

Willi Richert has a PhD in machine learning/robotics, where he used reinforcement learning, hidden Markov models, and Bayesian networks to let heterogeneous robots learn by imitation. Currently, he works for Microsoft in the Core Relevance Team of Bing, where he is involved in a variety of ML areas such as active learning, statistical machine translation, and growing decision trees.
