Hands-On Machine Learning with C++

By: Kirill Kolodiazhnyi

Overview of this book

C++ can make your machine learning models run faster and more efficiently. This handy guide will help you learn the fundamentals of machine learning (ML), showing you how to use C++ libraries to get the most out of your data. This book makes machine learning with C++ for beginners easy with its example-based approach, demonstrating how to implement supervised and unsupervised ML algorithms through real-world examples. This book will get you hands-on with tuning and optimizing a model for different use cases, assisting you with model selection and the measurement of performance. You’ll cover techniques such as product recommendations, ensemble learning, and anomaly detection using modern C++ libraries such as PyTorch C++ API, Caffe2, Shogun, Shark-ML, mlpack, and dlib. Next, you’ll explore neural networks and deep learning using examples such as image classification and sentiment analysis, which will help you solve various problems. Later, you’ll learn how to handle production and deployment challenges on mobile and cloud platforms, before discovering how to export and import models using the ONNX format. By the end of this C++ book, you will have real-world machine learning and C++ knowledge, as well as the skills to use C++ to build powerful ML systems.

Section 4: Production and Deployment Challenges

The crucial feature of C++ is the ability of the program to be compiled and run on a variety of hardware platforms. You can train your complex machine learning model on the fastest GPU in the data center, and deploy it to tiny mobile devices with limited resources. This chapter will show you how to use the C++ APIs of the TensorFlow and Caffe2 libraries to build programs that use machine learning models for Android devices and in the cloud.

This section comprises the following chapters:

  • Chapter 12, Exporting and Importing Models
  • Chapter 13, Deploying Models on Mobile and Cloud Platforms
