Overview of this book

Predictive analytics discovers hidden patterns from structured and unstructured data for automated decision making in business intelligence. Predictive decisions are becoming a huge trend worldwide, catering to wide industry sectors by predicting which decisions are more likely to give maximum results. TensorFlow, Google’s brainchild, is immensely popular and extensively used for predictive analysis. This book is a quick learning guide on all the three types of machine learning, that is, supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning with TensorFlow. This book will teach you predictive analytics for high-dimensional and sequence data. In particular, you will learn the linear regression model for regression analysis. You will also learn how to use regression for predicting continuous values. You will learn supervised learning algorithms for predictive analytics. You will explore unsupervised learning and clustering using K-meansYou will then learn how to predict neighborhoods using K-means, and then, see another example of clustering audio clips based on their audio features. This book is ideal for developers, data analysts, machine learning practitioners, and deep learning enthusiasts who want to build powerful, robust, and accurate predictive models with the power of TensorFlow. This book is embedded with useful assessments that will help you revise the concepts you have learned in this book. This book is repurposed for this specific learning experience from material from Packt's Predictive Analytics with TensorFlow by Md. Rezaul Karim.

Summary


In this lesson, we have discussed unsupervised learning from a theoretical and practical perspective. We have seen how we can make use of predictive analytics and find out how we can take advantage of it to cluster records belonging to a certain group or class for a dataset of unsupervised observations. We have discussed unsupervised learning and clustering using K-means. In addition, we have seen how we can fine tune the clustering using the Elbow method for better predictive accuracy. We have also seen how to predict neighborhoods using K-means, and then, we have seen another example of clustering audio clips based on their audio features. Finally, we have seen how we can use unsupervised kNN for predicting the nearest neighbors.

In the next lesson, we will discuss the wonderful field of text analytics using TensorFlow. Text analytics is a wide area in natural language processing (NLP), and ML is useful in many use cases, such as sentiment analysis, chatbots, email spam detection...
