In this chapter, we covered what machine learning is and why it's so important. We talked about the main classes of machine learning techniques and some of the most popular classic ML algorithms. We also introduced a particular type of machine learning algorithm, called neural networks, which is at the basis for deep learning. Then, we looked at a coding example where we used a popular machine learning library to solve a particular classification problem. In the next chapter, we'll cover neural networks in more detail and explore their theoretical justifications.

Overview of this book
With the surge in artificial intelligence in applications catering to both business and consumer needs, deep learning is more important than ever for meeting current and future market demands. With this book, you’ll explore deep learning, and learn how to put machine learning to use in your projects.
This second edition of Python Deep Learning will get you up to speed with deep learning, deep neural networks, and how to train them with high-performance algorithms and popular Python frameworks. You’ll uncover different neural network architectures, such as convolutional networks, recurrent neural networks, long short-term memory (LSTM) networks, and capsule networks. You’ll also learn how to solve problems in the fields of computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and speech recognition. You'll study generative model approaches such as variational autoencoders and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) to generate images. As you delve into newly evolved areas of reinforcement learning, you’ll gain an understanding of state-of-the-art algorithms that are the main components behind popular games Go, Atari, and Dota.
By the end of the book, you will be well-versed with the theory of deep learning along with its real-world applications.
