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 supervised learning from the theoretical and practical perspective. In particular, we have revisited the linear regression model for regression analysis. We have seen how to use regression for predicting continuous values. Later in this lesson, we have discussed some other supervised learning algorithms for predictive analytics. We have seen how to use logistic regression, SVM, and random forests for survival prediction on the Titanic dataset. Finally, we have seen a comparative analysis between these classifiers. We have also seen that random forest, which is based on decision trees ensembles, outperforms logistic regression and linear SVM models.

In Lesson 3, Clustering Your Data – Unsupervised Learning for Predictive Analytics, we will provide some practical examples of unsupervised learning. Particularly, the clustering technique using TensorFlow will be provided for neighborhood clustering and audio clustering from audio features.
