Machine Learning

<p>Recent years have seen the rise of machine learning the study of software that learns from experience. While machine learning is a new discipline it has found many applications. We rely on some of these applications daily; in some cases their successes have already rendered them mundane. Many other applications have only recently been conceived and hint at machine learning's potential. In this book we will examine several machine learning models and learning algorithms. We will discuss tasks that machine learning is commonly applied to and learn to measure the performance of machine learning systems. We will work with a popular library for the Python programming language called scikit-learn which has assembled excellent implementations of many machine learning models and algorithms under a simple yet versatile API.</p>
