Overview of this book

Machine learning (ML) helps you find hidden insights from your data without the need for explicit programming. This book is your key to solving any kind of ML problem you might come across in your job. You’ll encounter a set of simple to complex problems while building ML models, and you'll not only resolve these problems, but you’ll also learn how to build projects based on each problem, with a practical approach and easy-to-follow examples. The book includes a wide range of applications: from analytics and NLP, to computer vision domains. Some of the applications you will be working on include stock price prediction, a recommendation engine, building a chat-bot, a facial expression recognition system, and many more. The problem examples we cover include identifying the right algorithm for your dataset and use cases, creating and labeling datasets, getting enough clean data to carry out processing, identifying outliers, overftting datasets, hyperparameter tuning, and more. Here, you'll also learn to make more timely and accurate predictions. In addition, you'll deal with more advanced use cases, such as building a gaming bot, building an extractive summarization tool for medical documents, and you'll also tackle the problems faced while building an ML model. By the end of this book, you'll be able to fine-tune your models as per your needs to deliver maximum productivity.

Chapter 2. Stock Market Price Prediction

In this chapter, we will cover an amazing application that belongs to predictive analysis. I hope the name of the chapter has already given you a rough idea of what this chapter is going to be all about. We will try to predict the price of the stock index. We will apply some modern machine learning techniques as well as deep learning techniques.

We will cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • Introducing the problem statement

  • Collecting the dataset

  • Understanding the dataset

  • Data preprocessing and data analysis

  • Feature engineering

  • Selecting the Machine Learning (ML) algorithm

  • Training the baseline model

  • Understanding the testing matrix

  • Testing the baseline model

  • Exploring problems with the existing approach

  • Understanding the revised approach

    • Understanding concepts and approaches

  • Implementing the revised approach

    • Testing the revised approach

    • Understanding problems with the revised approach

  • The best approach

  • Summary

So, let's get started!
