Reviews

Review 1

" The book focuses on practical aspects of machine learning and avoids rigorous mathematics. It explains the ML techniques with the help of concrete examples and highlights the circumstances when a specific technique would be useful. The book also includes a discussion on feature engineering. The discussion on reinforcement learning techniques is particularly inviting. Extensive discussion on neural networks prepares the students for the study of deep learning techniques." - Professor Naveen Kumar, Department of Computer Science, University of Delhi, India
