Python: Real World Machine Learning

Summary

In this chapter, we covered a lot of ground. We began by introducing ensembles, some of the most powerful and popular techniques in competitive machine learning contexts. We covered both the theory and code needed to apply ensembles to our machine learning projects, using a combination of expert knowledge and practical examples.

In addition, this chapter also dedicates a section to discussing the unique considerations that arise when you run models for weeks and months at a time. We discussed what data change can mean, how to identify it, and how to think about guarding against it. We gave specific consideration to the question of how to create sets of models running in parallel, which you can switch between based on seasonal change or ...
