In the last few years, machine learning has become a more and more important field in the majority of industries. Many tasks once considered impossible to automate are now completely managed by computers, allowing human beings to focus on more creative tasks. This revolution has been made possible by the dramatic improvement of standard algorithms, together with a continuous reduction in hardware prices. The complexity that was a huge obstacle only a decade ago is now a problem than even a personal computer can solve. The general availability of high-level open source frameworks has allowed everybody to design and train extremely powerful models.
The main goal of this book is to introduce the reader to complex techniques (such as ...
