In this section, we will introduce the most important concept in deep learning: how to improve learning by unsupervised pretraining. With unsupervised pretraining, we use neural networks to find latent features and factors in the data to later pass to a neural network. This method has the powerful capability of training networks to learn tasks that other machine learning methods can't, without handcrafting features. We will get into the specifics and introduce a new powerful library.

Overview of this book
Large Python machine learning projects involve new problems associated with specialized machine learning architectures and designs that many data scientists have yet to tackle. But finding algorithms and designing and building platforms that deal with large sets of data is a growing need. Data scientists have to manage and maintain increasingly complex data projects, and with the rise of big data comes an increasing demand for computational and algorithmic efficiency. Large Scale Machine Learning with Python uncovers a new wave of machine learning algorithms that meet scalability demands together with a high predictive accuracy.
Dive into scalable machine learning and the three forms of scalability. Speed up algorithms that can be used on a desktop computer with tips on parallelization and memory allocation. Get to grips with new algorithms that are specifically designed for large projects and can handle bigger files, and learn about machine learning in big data environments. We will also cover the most effective machine learning techniques on a map reduce framework in Hadoop and Spark in Python.
