Overview of this book

Machine learning (ML) helps you find hidden insights from your data without the need for explicit programming. This book is your key to solving any kind of ML problem you might come across in your job. You’ll encounter a set of simple to complex problems while building ML models, and you'll not only resolve these problems, but you’ll also learn how to build projects based on each problem, with a practical approach and easy-to-follow examples. The book includes a wide range of applications: from analytics and NLP, to computer vision domains. Some of the applications you will be working on include stock price prediction, a recommendation engine, building a chat-bot, a facial expression recognition system, and many more. The problem examples we cover include identifying the right algorithm for your dataset and use cases, creating and labeling datasets, getting enough clean data to carry out processing, identifying outliers, overftting datasets, hyperparameter tuning, and more. Here, you'll also learn to make more timely and accurate predictions. In addition, you'll deal with more advanced use cases, such as building a gaming bot, building an extractive summarization tool for medical documents, and you'll also tackle the problems faced while building an ML model. By the end of this book, you'll be able to fine-tune your models as per your needs to deliver maximum productivity.

Introducing the problem statement


At the beginning of the chapter, we already looked at an overview of the problem statement. Here, we will be delving into further details. We want to build an automatic text summarization application. We will be providing a medical transcription document as the input. Our goal is to generate the summary of this document. Note that here, we are going to provide a single document as the input, and as an output, we will be generating the summary of that single document. We want to generate an informative summary for the document. An informative summary is a type of summary where the summarization document is a substitute of the original document as far as the converging of information is concerned. This is because we are dealing with the medical domain.

Initially, we use extractive summarization methods in our approaches. We will be generating the extractive summary for a medical document. Later on in this chapter, we will be also developing a solution that...
