Practical Machine Learning

Machine learning algorithms

Now, let's look at the important machine learning algorithms and some brief details about each of them. In-depth implementation aspects for each of the algorithms will be covered in later chapters. These algorithms are either classified under the problem type or the learning type. There is a simple classification of the algorithms given but it is intuitive and not necessarily exhaustive.

There are many ways of classifying or grouping machine learning algorithms, and in this book we will use the learning model based grouping. In each chapter, starting from Chapter 5, Decision Tree based learning, we will cover one or more learning models and associated algorithms. The following concept model depicts a listing of learning ...
