Machine Learning with Go Quick Start Guide

By: Michael Bironneau, Toby Coleman

Overview of this book

Machine learning is an essential part of today's data-driven world and is extensively used across industries, including financial forecasting, robotics, and web technology. This book will teach you how to efficiently develop machine learning applications in Go. The book starts with an introduction to machine learning and its development process, explaining the types of problems that it aims to solve and the solutions it offers. It then covers setting up a frictionless Go development environment, including running Go interactively with Jupyter notebooks. Finally, common data processing techniques are introduced. The book then teaches the reader about supervised and unsupervised learning techniques through worked examples that include the implementation of evaluation metrics. These worked examples make use of the prominent open-source libraries GoML and Gonum. The book also teaches readers how to load a pre-trained model and use it to make predictions. It then moves on to the operational side of running machine learning applications: deployment, Continuous Integration, and helpful advice for effective logging and monitoring. At the end of the book, readers will learn how to set up a machine learning project for success, formulating realistic success criteria and accurately translating business requirements into technical ones.

Running Go interactively with gophernotes

Project Jupyter is a not-for-profit organization that was created to develop language-agnostic interactive computing for data science[3]. The result is a mature, well-supported environment to explore, visualize, and process data that can significantly accelerate development by providing immediate feedback and integrations with plotting libraries such as gonum/plot.

While its first iteration, called iPython, only supported Python-based handlers (called kernels) at first, the latest version of Jupyter has over 50 kernels that support dozens of languages, including three kernels for the Go language[4]. GitHub has support for rendering Jupyter files (called notebooks)[5], and there are various specialized hubs for sharing notebooks online, including Google Research Colabs[6], Jupyter's community hub called NBViewer[7], and its enterprise...
