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.

Conclusion - Successful ML Projects

So far in this book, we have focused on how to prepare and use ML algorithms in Go. This included the preparation of data in Chapter 2, Setting Up the Development Environment, and the use of data to build models in Chapter 3, Supervised Learning, and Chapter 4, Unsupervised Learning. We also looked at how to integrate an existing ML model into a Go application in Chapter 5, Using Pretrained Models. Finally, we covered how to integrate ML into production systems in Chapter 6, Deploying Machine Learning Applications. To conclude, we will take a look at the different stages in a typical project, and how to manage the end-to-end process of developing and deploying a successful ML system.

AI expert Andrej Karparthy has written[1] about how ML can be used to simplify what were previously very complex systems. Often, it is simpler to allow a machine...
