Hands-On Machine Learning with IBM Watson

By: James D. Miller

Overview of this book

IBM Cloud is a collection of cloud computing services for data analytics using machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI). This book is a complete guide to help you become well versed with machine learning on the IBM Cloud using Python. Hands-On Machine Learning with IBM Watson starts with supervised and unsupervised machine learning concepts, in addition to providing you with an overview of IBM Cloud and Watson Machine Learning. You'll gain insights into running various techniques, such as K-means clustering, K-nearest neighbor (KNN), and time series prediction in IBM Cloud with real-world examples. The book will then help you delve into creating a Spark pipeline in Watson Studio. You will also be guided through deep learning and neural network principles on the IBM Cloud using TensorFlow. With the help of NLP techniques, you can then brush up on building a chatbot. In later chapters, you will cover three powerful case studies, including the facial expression classification platform, the automated classification of lithofacies, and the multi-biometric identity authentication platform, helping you to become well versed with these methodologies. By the end of this book, you will be ready to build efficient machine learning solutions on the IBM Cloud and draw insights from the data at hand using real-world examples.

Preface

This book serves as a complete guide to becoming well-versed in machine learning on IBM Cloud using Python. You will learn how to build complete machine learning solutions, focusing on the role of data representation and feature extraction.

This book starts with supervised and unsupervised machine learning concepts, including an overview of IBM Cloud and the Watson Machine Learning service. You will learn how to run various techniques, such as k-means clustering, KNN, time series prediction, visual recognition, and text-to-speech in IBM Cloud by means of real-world examples. You will learn how to create a Spark pipeline in Watson Studio. The book will also guide you in terms of deep learning and neural network principles on IBM Cloud with TensorFlow. You will learn how to build chatbots using NLP techniques. Later, you will cover three powerful case studies – the facial expression classification platform, the automated classification of lithofacies, and the multibiometric identity authentication platform – with a view to becoming well-versed in the methodologies.

By the end of the book, you will be well-positioned to build efficient machine learning solutions on IBM Cloud. You will also be well-equipped with real-world examples to draw insights from the data at hand.
