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.

Building the baseline approach


In this section, we will be implementing the baseline approach for the summarization application. We will be using medical transcriptions to generate the summary. Here we will be using a small trial MIMIC-II dataset which contains a few sample medical documents and www.mtsamples.com for getting medical transcriptions. You can find the code by using this GitHub link: https://github.com/jalajthanaki/medical_notes_extractive_summarization/tree/master/Base_line_approach.

Let's start building the baseline approach.

Implementing the baseline approach

Here, we will be performing the following steps in order to build the baseline approach:

  • Install python dependencies

  • Write code and generate summary

Installing python dependencies

We will be using two python dependencies, which are really easy to use, in order to develop the summarization application. One is PyTeaser, and the second one is Sumy. You need to execute the following commands in order to install these two dependencies...
