Overview of this book

Machine learning is transforming the way we understand and interact with the world around us. This book is the perfect guide for you to put your knowledge and skills into practice and use the Python ecosystem to cover key domains in machine learning. This second edition covers a range of libraries from the Python ecosystem, including TensorFlow and Keras, to help you implement real-world machine learning projects. The book begins by giving you an overview of machine learning with Python. With the help of complex datasets and optimized techniques, you’ll go on to understand how to apply advanced concepts and popular machine learning algorithms to real-world projects. Next, you’ll cover projects from domains such as predictive analytics to analyze the stock market and recommendation systems for GitHub repositories. In addition to this, you’ll also work on projects from the NLP domain to create a custom news feed using frameworks such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and Keras. Following this, you’ll learn how to build an advanced chatbot, and scale things up using PySpark. In the concluding chapters, you can look forward to exciting insights into deep learning and you'll even create an application using computer vision and neural networks. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to analyze data seamlessly and make a powerful impact through your projects.

Sequence-to-sequence modeling for chatbots

For this next task, we'll leverage a couple libraries discussed in Chapter 8, Classifying Images with Convolutional Neural Networks, TensorFlow and Keras. Both can be pip installed if you haven't done that already.

We're also going to use the type of advanced modeling discussed earlier in the chapter; it's a type of deep learning called sequence-to-sequence modeling. This is frequently used in machine translation and question-answering applications, as it allows us to map an input sequence of any length to an output sequence of any length:

Francois Chollet has an excellent introduction to this type of model on the blog for Keras: https://blog.keras.io/a-ten-minute-introduction-to-sequence-to-sequence-learning-in...
