In Detail

Machine Learning is transforming the way we understand and interact with the world around us. But how much do you really understand it? How confident are you interacting with the tools and models that drive it?

Python Machine Learning Blueprints puts your skills and knowledge to the test, guiding you through the development of some awesome machine learning applications and algorithms with real-world examples that demonstrate how to put concepts into practice.

You'll learn how to use cluster techniques to discover bargain air fares, and apply linear regression to find yourself a cheap apartment – and much more. Everything you learn is backed by a real-world example, whether its data manipulation or statistical modelling.

That way you're never left floundering in theory – you'll be simply collecting and analyzing data in a way that makes a real impact.

Style and approach

Packed with real-world projects, this book takes you beyond the theory to demonstrate how to apply machine learning techniques to real problems.
