Overview of this book

<p>Machine learning is increasingly pervasive in the modern data-driven world. It is used extensively across many fields such as search engines, robotics, self-driving cars, and more.</p> <p>With this course, you will learn how to perform various machine learning tasks in different environments. We’ll start by exploring a range of real-life scenarios where machine learning can be used, and look at various building blocks. Throughout the course, you’ll use a wide variety of machine learning algorithms to solve real-world problems and use Python to implement these algorithms.</p> <p>You’ll discover how to deal with various types of data and explore the differences between machine learning paradigms such as supervised and unsupervised learning. We also cover a range of regression techniques, classification algorithms, predictive modelling, data visualization techniques, recommendation engines, and more with the help of real-world examples.</p> <h1>Style and Approach</h1> <p>These independent videos teach you how to perform various machine learning tasks in different environments. Each of the video in the section will cover a real-life scenario.</p>

Finding Similar Users in a Dataset
One of the most important tasks in building a recommendation engine is finding users that are similar. Let's see how to do this in this video. - Define a function to find similar users which takes three arguments - Sort the scores in descending order - Extract the k top scores and return them
