Abstract

Recent years have seen machine learning techniques become prominent in unexpectedly diverse application areas. This chapter introduces a few of them: text mining, including document classification and clustering; web mining, including wrapper induction and the page-rank method used for web search; computer vision, including both object and face recognition; speech recognition; and natural language processing and understanding. Deep learning has made inroads in all these areas and we draw connections to the material covered in Chapter 10, Deep learning. We also consider some other issues that are relevant in practical applications. Applying machine learning to data mining often involves careful ...

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.
