Publisher's Synopsis
If you think that machine learning has become too broad and challenging to begin learning, then Machine Learning for Beginners is the book you have been waiting for. The extent of how extensive deep learning has become does not matter, but understanding the essentials initially provides the building blocks to ascertain your knowledge in machine learning.
Everyone agrees that machine learning is a broad topic with several components; however, having a strong foundation of what it encompasses plays a crucial role in what it entails in general. However, machine learning uses a similar technique of how we think and conduct our daily lives with most of the activities controlled by the brain. When we adopt this concept, the chances are that you are likely to understand what machine learning, especially deep learning, is all about.
That said, inside this book, you will find valuable information specifically designed to build your knowledge about machine learning. With the changing world, mostly into making, machines learn human behaviors, you do not wish to be left behind but move with the industry. Before venturing deeper into machine learning, the book highlights the fundamental concepts of machine learning.
You should initially understand the basic components or rather the terms, central aspects of these machines and some of the types of machine learning algorithms. Besides, the book provides a brief tutorial of how machine learning techniques are conducted.
More so, it is vital to understand the benefits of machine learning in real life to enhance your interest in this field of computing. As such, inside, you will find some of the applications of machine learning in different areas, especially in simplifying things and making technology more straightforward. Technology may become confusing with almost similar multidisciplinary elements of computing; the book, therefore, highlights the differences between machine learning, deep learning, data science, and cognitive computing, among others.
You will also learn about some of the examples of deep learning and when to avoid the utilization of machine learning, especially when it is harmful or prone to cause destruction. With different machine learning algorithm out there, you will have to learn about them also entailed in this book. Some may wonder how machines simulate human behaviors and other responses without being programmed, whereas others may think that machines imitation of how we react to events is made possible through magic. This book, Machine Learning For Beginners, provides an answer to these questions and beliefs detailing how scientists have made this learning practical where it seemed impossible.
Inside you will find
- Definition of machine learning and its comparison to programming or code use when setting computer instructions
- The basics of machine learning including the vocabularies used, components, and types of algorithms
