Practical Machine Learning

Chapter 1. Introduction to Machine learning

The goal of this chapter is to take you through the Machine learning landscape and lay out the basic concepts upfront for the chapters that follow. More importantly, the focus is to help you explore various learning strategies and take a deep dive into the different subfields of Machine learning. The techniques and algorithms under each subfield, and the overall architecture that forms the core for any Machine learning project implementation, are covered in depth.

There are many publications on Machine learning, and a lot of work has been done in past in this field. Further to the concepts of Machine learning, the focus will be primarily on specific practical implementation aspects through real-world ...
