Overview of this book

Machine learning makes it possible to learn about the unknowns and gain hidden insights into your datasets by mastering many tools and techniques. This book guides you to do just that in a very compact manner. After giving a quick overview of what machine learning is all about, Machine Learning Quick Reference jumps right into its core algorithms and demonstrates how they can be applied to real-world scenarios. From model evaluation to optimizing their performance, this book will introduce you to the best practices in machine learning. Furthermore, you will also look at the more advanced aspects such as training neural networks and work with different kinds of data, such as text, time-series, and sequential data. Advanced methods and techniques such as causal inference, deep Gaussian processes, and more are also covered. By the end of this book, you will be able to train fast, accurate machine learning models at your fingertips, which you can easily use as a point of reference.

Chapter 11. Advanced Methods

We have made it to the final chapter of this book. However, this doesn't mean that we can ignore the topics that we are going to discuss in the upcoming sections. These topics are state of the art and will separate you from the rest.

In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:

  • Kernel principal component analysis
  • Independent component analysis
  • Compressed sensing
  • Bayesian multiple imputations
  • Self-organizing maps
