This book introduces ML concepts and implementations of algorithms in Python both from scratch and with libraries. Each chapter of the book is a walkthrough of an industry adopted application. Author Yuxi (Hayden) Liu uses examples to show the mechanics of ML techniques in areas such as exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, classification, regression, clustering, and NLP. This extended and updated edition now includes implementation with libraries including TensorFlow, gensim and Keras. The scikit-learn codes are also fully modernized.
