Get the Summary of Oliver Theobald's Machine Learning for Absolute Beginners in 20 minutes. Please note: This is a summary & not the original book. "Machine Learning for Absolute Beginners" by Oliver Theobald provides an introduction to the expansive field of data science, which includes big data, AI, data mining, and machine learning. The book traces the evolution of data analysis from classical statistics, which could be managed manually, to the complex, computer-dependent techniques of today. It explains how AI aims to replicate human cognitive abilities and how machine learning, a subset of AI, uses algorithms to learn from data and make predictions...
While exposure to data has become more or less a daily ritual for the rank-and-file knowledge worker, true understanding-treated in this book as data literacy-resides in knowing what lies behind the data. Everything from the data's source to the specific choice of input variables, algorithmic transformations, and visual representation shape the accuracy, relevance, and value of the data and mark its journey from raw data to business insight. It's also important to grasp the terminology and basic concepts of data analytics as much as it is to have the financial literacy to be successful as a decisionmaker in the business world. In this book, we make sense of data analytics without the assumption that you understand specific data science terminology or advanced programming languages to set you on your path. Topics covered in this book: Data Mining Big Data Machine Learning Alternative Data Data Management Web Scraping Regression Analysis Clustering Analysis Association Analysis Data Visualization Business Intelligence
Data is collected constantly: how far we travel, who we interact with online and where we spend our money. Every bit of data has a story to tell but isolated, these morsels of information lie dormant and useless, like separated Lego blocks in the closet. Written by the author of Amazon Best Seller Machine Learning for Absolute Beginners, this book guides beginners through the fundamentals of inferential and descriptive statistics with a mix of practical demonstrations, visual examples, historical origins, and plain English explanations. As a resource for beginners, this book won't teach you how to beat the market or predict the next U.S. election but provides a concise and simple-to-understa...
Learn How to Make Your Own Recommender System in an Afternoon.Recommender systems are one of the most visible applications of machine learning and data mining today and their uncanny ability to convert our unspoken actions into items we desire is both addicting and concerning.

Recommender systems are here to stay and for anyone beginning their journey in data science, this is a lucrative space for future employment.This book will get you up and running with the basics as well as the steps to coding your own re...
"The manner in which computers are now able to mimic human thinking to process information is rapidly exceeding human capabilities in everything from chess to picking the winner of a song contest. In the modern age of machine learning, computers do not strictly need to receive an 'input command' to perform a task, but rather 'input data'. From the input of data they are able to form their own decisions and take actions virtually as a human world. But given it is a machine, it can consider many more scenarios and execute far more complicated calculations to solve complex problems. This is the element that excites data scientists and machine learning engineers the most. The ability to solve complex problems never before attempted. This book will dive in to introduce machine learning, and is ideal for beginners starting out in machine learning."--page 4 of cover.
This practical guide provides nearly 200 self-contained recipes to help you solve machine learning challenges you may encounter in your daily work. If you’re comfortable with Python and its libraries, including pandas and scikit-learn, you’ll be able to address specific problems such as loading data, handling text or numerical data, model selection, and dimensionality reduction and many other topics. Each recipe includes code that you can copy and paste into a toy dataset to ensure that it actually works. From there, you can insert, combine, or adapt the code to help construct your application. Recipes also include a discussion that explains the solution and provides meaningful context. ...
