By: Imran Ahmad

Overview of this book

The ability to use algorithms to solve real-world problems is a must-have skill for any developer or programmer. This book will help you not only to develop the skills to select and use an algorithm to tackle problems in the real world but also to understand how it works. You'll start with an introduction to algorithms and discover various algorithm design techniques, before exploring how to implement different types of algorithms, with the help of practical examples. As you advance, you'll learn about linear programming, page ranking, and graphs, and will then work with machine learning algorithms to understand the math and logic behind them. Case studies will show you how to apply these algorithms optimally before you focus on deep learning algorithms and learn about different types of deep learning models along with their practical use. You will also learn about modern sequential models and their variants, algorithms, methodologies, and architectures that are used to implement Large Language Models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT. Finally, you'll become well versed in techniques that enable parallel processing, giving you the ability to use these algorithms for compute-intensive tasks. By the end of this programming book, you'll have become adept at solving real-world computational problems by using a wide range of algorithms.

Understanding sequential data

Sequential data is a specific type of data structure where the order of the elements matters, and each element has a relational dependency on its predecessors. This “sequential behavior” is distinct because it conveys information not just in the individual elements but also in the pattern or sequence in which they occur. In sequential data, the current observation is not only influenced by external factors but also by previous observations in the sequence. This dependency forms the core characteristic of sequential data.

Understanding the different types of sequential data is essential to appreciate its broad applications. Here are the primary categories:

  • Time series data: This is a series of data points indexed or listed in time order. The value at any point in time is dependent on the past values. Time series data is widely used in various fields, including economics, finance, and healthcare.
  • Textual data: Text data...
