Overview
Learn how machine learning algorithms work from the ground up so you can effectively troubleshoot your models and improve their performance.
Fully understanding how machine learning algorithms function is essential for any serious ML engineer. In Machine Learning Algorithms in Depth you’ll explore practical implementations of dozens of ML algorithms including:
Machine Learning Algorithms in Depth dives into the design and underlying principles of some of the most exciting machine learning (ML) algorithms in the world today. With a particular emphasis on probabilistic algorithms, you’ll learn the fundamentals of Bayesian inference and deep learning. You’ll also explore the core data structures and algorithmic paradigms for machine learning. Each algorithm is fully explored with both math and practical implementations so you can see how they work and how they’re put into action.
About the Technology
Learn how machine learning algorithms work from the ground up so you can effectively troubleshoot your models and improve their performance. This book guides you from the core mathematical foundations of the most important ML algorithms to their Python implementations, with a particular focus on probability-based methods.
About the Book
Machine Learning Algorithms in Depth dissects and explains dozens of algorithms across a variety of applications, including finance, computer vision, and NLP. Each algorithm is mathematically derived, followed by its hands-on Python implementation along with insightful code annotations and informative graphics. You’ll especially appreciate author Vadim Smolyakov’s clear interpretations of Bayesian algorithms for Monte Carlo and Markov models.
