Overview

Time to flex your machine learning muscles! Take on the carefully designed challenges of the Machine Learning Bookcamp and master essential ML techniques through practical application.

In Machine Learning Bookcamp you will:

Collect and clean data for training models
Use popular Python tools, including NumPy, Scikit-Learn, and TensorFlow
Apply ML to complex datasets with images
Deploy ML models to a production-ready environment

The only way to learn is to practice! In Machine Learning Bookcamp, you’ll create and deploy Python-based machine learning models for a variety of increasingly challenging projects. Taking you from the basics of machine learning to complex applications such as image analysis, each new project builds on what you’ve learned in previous chapters. You’ll build a portfolio of business-relevant machine learning projects that hiring managers will be excited to see.

About the Technology
Master key machine learning concepts as you build actual projects! Machine learning is what you need for analyzing customer behavior, predicting price trends, evaluating risk, and much more. To master ML, you need great examples, clear explanations, and lots of practice. This book delivers all three!

About the Book
Machine Learning Bookcamp presents realistic, practical machine learning scenarios, along with crystal-clear coverage of key concepts. In it, you’ll complete engaging projects, such as creating a car price predictor using linear regression and deploying a churn prediction service. You’ll go beyond the algorithms and explore important techniques like deploying ML applications on serverless systems and serving models with Kubernetes and Kubeflow. Dig in, get your hands dirty, and have fun building your ML skills!

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
