Introduction

Machine learning is a subfield of artificial intelligence, broadly defined as a machine's capability to imitate intelligent human behavior. Like humans, machines become capable of making intelligent decisions by learning from their past experiences. Machine learning is being employed in many applications, including fraud detection and prevention, self-driving cars, recommendation systems, facial recognition technology, and intelligent computing. This book helps beginners learn the art and science of machine learning. It presens real-world examples that leverage the popular Python machine learning ecosystem,

The topics covered in this book include machine learning basics: supervised and unsupervised learning, linear regression and logistic regression, Support Vector Machines (SVMs). It also delves into special topics such as neural networks, theory of generalisation, and bias and fairness in machine learning. After reading this book, computer science and engineering students - at college and university levels - will receive a complete understanding of machine learning fundamentals and will be able to implement neural network solutions in information systems, and also extend them to their advantage

Foreword

I take the opportunity to congratulate the authors, Dr. Deepti Chopra and Mr. Roopal Khurana who have written this book titled, “Introduction to Machine Learning With Python”.

The advancement in technology in the past decade has been due to the introduction of Machine Learning. Today, machine learning has escalated Artificial Intelligence Revolution, be it in Fraud Detection and Prevention, Self-driving cars, Recommendation Systems, Facial Recognition technology, etc.

Machine Learning is one of the approaches of Artificial Intelligence in which Machines become capable of drawing intelligent decisions like humans by learning from their past experiences. In classical methods of Artificial Intelligence, step-by-step instructions are provided to the machines to solve a problem. Machine learning combines classical methods of Artificial Intelligence with the knowledge of the past to gain human-like intelligence.

The authors of this book have given explanations on Machine Learning with Python from the basics to the advanced level so as to assist beginners in building a strong foundation and developing practical understanding.

Beginners with zero or little knowledge about Machine Learning can gain insight into this subject from this book. This book explains Machine Learning concepts using real-life examples implemented in Python.

After learning from this book, one will be able to apply concepts of Machine Learning to real-life problems.

I am sure readers will benefit from this book and gain a lot in the field of machine learning.

Happy Reading!!
