Machine Learning for Beginners

Machine Learning is one of the most exciting developments to come out of computer science since its founding. It's dramatically changing society all around us and the new occupation of Data Science which has arisen as a result of the development of Machine Learning has opened up a new career path that guarantees employment that is exciting, at the cutting edge, and guaranteed to be challenging.

Maybe you're aware of all the hype but you are quite sure what Machine Learning is. If that's the case you've come to the right place. This book is designed to be a beginner's introduction to the exciting world of Machine Learning and Data Science. In this book we are going to pull the curtain back and reveal the secrets and tools used in these exciting fields.

We'll begin by recounting a history of machines and how they are an extension of the human mind and also an extension of human labor. Then we will introduce you to the concept of Machine Learning and explore how it relates to Artificial Intelligence into Deep Learning. You will learn all the different ways that Machine Learning can be applied in the real world in practical circumstances. After this, we will reveal the different types of learning and training that is used in order to get computers to learn how to deal with the real world and become autonomous agents. We will teach you all about Supervised and Unsupervised Learning. You're also going to learn the concepts behind all the major algorithms that are used in Data Science and Machine Learning.
