Machine Learning With Go

Overview of this book

The mission of this book is to turn readers into productive, innovative data analysts who leverage Go to build robust and valuable applications. To this end, the book clearly introduces the technical aspects of building predictive models in Go, but it also helps the reader understand how machine learning workflows are being applied in real-world scenarios. Machine Learning with Go shows readers how to be productive in machine learning while also producing applications that maintain a high level of integrity. It also gives readers patterns to overcome challenges that are often encountered when trying to integrate machine learning in an engineering organization. The readers will begin by gaining a solid understanding of how to gather, organize, and parse real-work data from a variety of sources. Readers will then develop a solid statistical toolkit that will allow them to quickly understand gain intuition about the content of a dataset. Finally, the readers will gain hands-on experience implementing essential machine learning techniques (regression, classification, clustering, and so on) with the relevant Go packages. Finally, the reader will have a solid machine learning mindset and a powerful Go toolkit of techniques, packages, and example implementations.

Summary

Well, that was timely! We now know what time series data is, how to represent it in Go, how to make some forecasts, and how to detect anomalies in our time series data. These skills will come in useful anytime you are working with data that is changing with time, whether its data related to stock prices, or monitoring data related to your infrastructure.

In the next chapter, we will level up our Go-based machine learning by looking at a few advanced techniques, including neural networks and deep learning.
