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.

Preface

Machine learning (ML) plays a vital part in the modern data-driven world, and has been extensively adopted in various fields across financial forecasting, effective searching, robotics, digital imaging in healthcare, and many more besides. It is a rapidly evolving field, with new algorithms and datasets being published every week, both by academics and technology companies. This book will teach you how to perform various machine learning tasks using Go in different environments.

You will learn about many important techniques that are required to develop ML applications in Go, and deploy them as production systems. The best way to develop your knowledge is with hands-on experience, so dive in and start adding ML software to your own Go applications.
