About the Author Sebastian Raschka is a PhD student at Michigan State University who develops new computational methods in the fild of computational biology. He has been ranked as the number one most inflential data scientist on GitHub by Analytics Vidhya. He has many years of experience with coding in Python and he has conducted several seminars on the practical applications of data science and machine learning. Talking and writing about data science machine learning and Python really motivated Sebastian to write this book in order to help people develop data-driven solutions without necessarily needing to have a machine learning background. He has also actively contributed to open source projects and methods that he implemented which are now successfully used in machine learning competitions such as Kaggle. In his free time he works on models for sports predictions and if he is not in front of the computer he enjoys playing sports. I would like to thank my professors Arun Ross and Pang-Ning Tan and many others
