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.

Working with Auto-Keras

Auto-Keras is an open source software library for AutoML that aims at providing easy access to deep learning models. Auto-Keras has a number of features that allow you to automatically set up the architecture and parameters of deep learning models. Its ease of use, simple installation, and numerous examples make it a very popular framework. Auto-Keras was developed by the DATA Lab at Texas A and M University and community contributors.

Getting ready

In this recipe, you will learn how to use the Auto-Keras library to classify handwritten digits. To install the Auto-Keras package, we can use the pip command, as follows:

$ pip install autokeras
