Practical Machine Learning in Python 2nd Edition: Applying Artificial Intelligence to Understand and Model Further Real World Data Sets

by Malcolm Gloyer

Recent technology developments have facilitated machine learning on laptops. Most publications on this subject concentrate on teaching technology by using trivial examples to help readers understand Artificial Intelligence (AI) concepts resulting in technical proficiency but a lack of understanding how to (or being overwhelmed by the complexity when starting to) apply machine learning to real world problems. This book will deal with both the technology and the practical application of machine learning technology by explaining, via case studies presented in the appendices, how machine learning can be implemented to demonstrate artificial intelligence and draw inference from practical, real world problems. In this 2nd edition, the impact of data quality and machine learning modelling concepts are expanded and demonstrated via case studies on investment returns, customer attrition, the internet of things, online auction and text analysis of the bible. Malcolm Gloyer, Chartered Member of the Chartered Institute for Securities and Investments explains some solutions to the challenges of practical machine learning in Python. As a Certified Practicing Project Manager (CPPM MAIPM), Malcolm has more than 30 years’ experience working on projects in the UK and Australia, specialising in data strategy, market and credit risk, derivatives, commodities and artificial intelligence.
