Python Machine Learning Cookbook, - Second Edition

By: Giuseppe Ciaburro, Prateek Joshi

Overview of this book

This eagerly anticipated second edition of the popular Python Machine Learning Cookbook will enable you to adopt a fresh approach to dealing with real-world machine learning and deep learning tasks. With the help of over 100 recipes, you will learn to build powerful machine learning applications using modern libraries from the Python ecosystem. The book will also guide you on how to implement various machine learning algorithms for classification, clustering, and recommendation engines, using a recipe-based approach. With emphasis on practical solutions, dedicated sections in the book will help you to apply supervised and unsupervised learning techniques to real-world problems. Toward the concluding chapters, you will get to grips with recipes that teach you advanced techniques including reinforcement learning, deep neural networks, and automated machine learning. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to apply machine learning techniques and leverage the full capabilities of the Python ecosystem through real-world examples.

Implementing LDA with scikit-learn

Latent Dirichlet allocation (LDA) is a generative model, used in the study of natural language, which allows you to extract arguments from a set of source documents and provide a logical explanation on the similarity of individual parts of documents. Each document is considered as a set of words that, when combined, form one or more subsets of latent topics. Each topic is characterized by a particular distribution of terms.

Getting ready

In this recipe, we will use the sklearn.decomposition.LatentDirichletAllocation function to produce a feature matrix of token counts, similar to what the CountVectorizer function (just used in the Building a bag-of-words model recipe of Chapter 7, Analyzing...
