Just Enough Data Science And Machine Learning - Essential Tools And Techniques

by Mark Levene e Martyn Harris

~~52,99€~~ 47,69€ 10% OFF

 An accessible introduction to applied data science and machine learning, with minimal math and code required to master the foundational and technical aspects of data science. In Just Enough Data Science and Machine Learning, authors Mark Levene and Martyn Harris present a comprehensive and accessible introduction to data science. It allows the readers to develop an intuition behind the methods adopted in both data science and machine learning, which is the algorithmic component of data science involving the discovery of patterns from input data. This book looks at data science from an applied perspective, where emphasis is placed on the algorithmic aspects of data science and on the fundamental statistical concepts necessary to understand the subject. The book begins by exploring the nature of data science and its origins in basic statistics. The authors then guide readers through the essential steps of data science, starting with exploratory data analysis using visualisation tools. They explain the process of forming hypotheses, building statistical models, and utilising algorithmic methods to discover patterns in the data. Finally, the authors discuss general issues and preliminary concepts that are needed to understand machine learning, which is central to the discipline of data science. The book is packed with practical examples and real-world data sets throughout to reinforce the concepts. All examples are supported by Python code external to the reading material to keep the book timeless. Notable features of this book: <ul> <li>Clear explanations of fundamental statistical notions and concepts</li> <li>Coverage of various types of data and techniques for analysis</li> <li>In-depth exploration of popular machine learning tools and methods</li> <li>Insight into specific data science topics, such as social networks and sentiment analysis</li> <li>Practical examples and case studies for real-world application</li> <li>Recommended further reading for deeper exploration of specific topics.</li> </ul>

Machine Learning In Production - Developing And Optimizing Data Science Workflows And Applications

by Adam Kelleher e Andrew Kelleher

38,15€ + 10% CARD

 Foundational Hands-On Skills for Succeeding with Real Data Science Projects <blockquote> This pragmatic book introduces both machine learning and data science, bridging gaps between data scientist and engineer, and helping you bring these techniques into production. It helps ensure that your efforts actually solve your problem, and offers unique coverage of real-world optimization in production settings. -From the Foreword by Paul Dix, series editor </blockquote> Machine Learning in Production is a crash course in data science and machine learning for people who need to solve real-world problems in production environments. Written for technically competent "accidental data scientists" with more curiosity and ambition than formal training, this complete and rigorous introduction stresses practice, not theory. Building on agile principles, Andrew and Adam Kelleher show how to quickly deliver significant value in production, resisting overhyped tools and unnecessary complexity. Drawing on their extensive experience, they help you ask useful questions and then execute production projects from start to finish. The authors show just how much information you can glean with straightforward queries, aggregations, and visualizations, and they teach indispensable error analysis methods to avoid costly mistakes. They turn to workhorse machine learning techniques such as linear regression, classification, clustering, and Bayesian inference, helping you choose the right algorithm for each production problem. Their concluding section on hardware, infrastructure, and distributed systems offers unique and invaluable guidance on optimization in production environments. Andrew and Adam always focus on what matters in production: solving the problems that offer the highest return on investment, using the simplest, lowest-risk approaches that work. <ul> <li>Leverage agile principles to maximize development efficiency in production projects</li> <li>Learn from practical Python code examples and visualizations that bring essential algorithmic concepts to life</li> <li>Start with simple heuristics and improve them as your data pipeline matures</li> <li>Avoid bad conclusions by implementing foundational error analysis techniques</li> <li>Communicate your results with basic data visualization techniques</li> <li>Master basic machine learning techniques, starting with linear regression and random forests</li> <li>Perform classification and clustering on both vector and graph data</li> <li>Learn the basics of graphical models and Bayesian inference</li> <li>Understand correlation and causation in machine learning models</li> <li>Explore overfitting, model capacity, and other advanced machine learning techniques</li> <li>Make informed architectural decisions about storage, data transfer, computation, and communication</li> </ul> Register your book for convenient access to downloads, updates, and/or corrections as they become available.
