Machine Learning in Biotechnology and Life Sciences

By: Saleh Alkhalifa

Overview of this book

The booming fields of biotechnology and life sciences have seen drastic changes over the last few years. With competition growing in every corner, companies around the globe are looking to data-driven methods such as machine learning to optimize processes and reduce costs. This book helps lab scientists, engineers, and managers to develop a data scientist's mindset by taking a hands-on approach to learning about the applications of machine learning to increase productivity and efficiency in no time. You’ll start with a crash course in Python, SQL, and data science to develop and tune sophisticated models from scratch to automate processes and make predictions in the biotechnology and life sciences domain. As you advance, the book covers a number of advanced techniques in machine learning, deep learning, and natural language processing using real-world data. By the end of this machine learning book, you'll be able to build and deploy your own machine learning models to automate processes and make predictions using AWS and GCP.

Preface

We have seen major changes in the field of machine learning in the last few years that have impacted our daily lives and the way business decisions are made. If there is one thing that the biotechnology and life sciences industries have in abundance, it is their never-ending sources of data. As we move toward more data-driven models, the intersection of life sciences and machine learning has seen unprecedented growth, uncovering vast quantities of information and hidden patterns giving companies major competitive advantages.

Over the course of this book, we will touch on some of the most important elements of machine learning from both a supervised and unsupervised perspective. We will not only learn to develop and train robust models, but also deploy them in the cloud using AWS and GCP, allowing us to make them immediately available for end users.
