Go Machine Learning Projects

Overview of this book

Go is the perfect language for machine learning; it helps to clearly describe complex algorithms, and also helps developers to understand how to run efficient optimized code. This book will teach you how to implement machine learning in Go to make programs that are easy to deploy and code that is not only easy to understand and debug, but also to have its performance measured. The book begins by guiding you through setting up your machine learning environment with Go libraries and capabilities. You will then plunge into regression analysis of a real-life house pricing dataset and build a classification model in Go to classify emails as spam or ham. Using Gonum, Gorgonia, and STL, you will explore time series analysis along with decomposition and clean up your personal Twitter timeline by clustering tweets. In addition to this, you will learn how to recognize handwriting using neural networks and convolutional neural networks. Lastly, you'll learn how to choose the most appropriate machine learning algorithms to use for your projects with the help of a facial detection project. By the end of this book, you will have developed a solid machine learning mindset, a strong hold on the powerful Go toolkit, and a sound understanding of the practical implementations of machine learning algorithms in real-world projects.

What's Next?

The projects covered in this book can be considered bite-sized projects. They can be completed within a day or two. A real project will often take months. They require a combination of machine learning expertise, engineering expertise, and DevOps expertise. It would not quite be feasible to write about such projects without spanning multiple chapters while keeping the same level of detail. In fact, as can be witnessed by the progression of this book, as projects get more complex, the level of detail drops. In fact, the last two chapters are pretty thin.

All said and done, we've achieved quite a bit in this book. However, there is quite a bit we have not covered. This is owing to my own personal lack of expertise in some other fields in machine learning. In the introductory chapter, I noted that there are multiple classification schemes for machine learning...
