Python Machine Learning - Second Edition

A roadmap for building machine learning systems

In previous sections, we discussed the basic concepts of machine learning and the three different types of learning. In this section, we will discuss the other important parts of a machine learning system accompanying the learning algorithm. The following diagram shows a typical workflow for using machine learning in predictive modeling, which we will discuss in the following subsections:

Preprocessing – getting data into shape

Let's begin with discussing the roadmap for building machine learning systems. Raw data rarely comes in the form and shape that is necessary for the optimal performance of a learning ...
