This book is about making machine learning models and their decisions interpretable. After exploring the concepts of interpretability, you will learn about simple, interpretable models such as decision trees, decision rules and linear regression. Later chapters focus on general model-agnostic methods for interpreting black box models like feature importance and accumulated local effects and explaining individual predictions with Shapley values and LIME. All interpretation methods are explained in depth and discussed critically. How do they work under the hood? What are their strengths and weaknesses? How can their outputs be interpreted? This book will enable you to select and correctly apply the interpretation method that is most suitable for your machine learning project.

Get introduced to the concepts of Machine Learning and build efficient data models in C++About This Book* Get introduced to the concepts of Machine Learning and see how you can implement them in C++, and build efficient data models for training data using popular libraries such as mlpack and Shark* A detailed guide packed with real-life examples to help you build a solid understanding of Machine Learning.Who This Book Is ForThe target audience is C++ developers who want to get into machine learning, or knowledgeable ML programmers who don't know C++ well but want to use it, and libraries written in it, in their work. The reader should be conversant with at least one programming language, and have some familiarity with strongly-typed languages and vectors/matrices.What you will learn* Model relationships in your data using supervised learning* Uncover insights using clustering and t-SNE* Use ensemble and stack to create more powerful models* Use cuda-convnet and deep learning to solve image recognition problems* Build an end-to-end pipeline that turns what you learn into practical, ready-to-use software* Solve big data problems using Hadoop and Google's MR4CIn DetailMachine Learning tasks are CPU time-consuming. C++ outperforms any other programming language by allowing access to programming constructs to optimize CPU-based number crunching, precision, and memory management normally abstracted away in higher-level languages.This book aims to address the challenges associated with C++ machine learning by introducing you to several useful libraries (mlpack, Shogun, and so on); you'll producing a library of your own code along the way that should make common tasks more straightforward.We begin with a review of the basic concepts you will need to know or brush up on before going further, including math and an intro to the C++ style we'll be using throughout the book. We then deal with the fundamentals of ML-how to handle input, the basic algorithms, and sample cases where the basic algorithms succeed or fail. This is followed by more advanced topics such as complex algorithms, regularization, optimization, and visualizing and understanding data, referring back to earlier work consistently so that you can see the mountains move. We'll then touch upon topics of current interest: computer vision (including sections on CUDA and "deep" learning), natural language processing, and handling very large datasets.The journey ends with a coda: we go back through the original sample cases, applying what we've learned along the way to rectify the issues we ran into initially.

Introduces machine learning and its algorithmic paradigms, explaining the principles behind automated learning approaches and the considerations underlying their usage.

This book presents recent machine learning paradigms and advances in learning analytics, an emerging research discipline concerned with the collection, advanced processing, and extraction of useful information from both educators’ and learners’ data with the goal of improving education and learning systems. In this context, internationally respected researchers present various aspects of learning analytics and selected application areas, including: • Using learning analytics to measure student engagement, to quantify the learning experience and to facilitate self-regulation; • Using learning analytics to predict student performance; • Using learning analytics to create learning materials and educational courses; and • Using learning analytics as a tool to support learners and educators in synchronous and asynchronous eLearning. The book offers a valuable asset for professors, researchers, scientists, engineers and students of all disciplines. Extensive bibliographies at the end of each chapter guide readers to probe further into their application areas of interest.

A book that brings out the strengths of Clojure programming that have to facilitate machine learning. Each topic is described in substantial detail, and examples and libraries in Clojure are also demonstrated. This book is intended for Clojure developers who want to explore the area of machine learning. Basic understanding of the Clojure programming language is required, but thorough acquaintance with the standard Clojure library or any libraries are not required. Familiarity with theoretical concepts and notation of mathematics and statistics would be an added advantage.

Machine learning has become an integral part of many commercial applications and research projects, but this field is not exclusive to large companies with extensive research teams. If you use Python, even as a beginner, this book will teach you practical ways to build your own machine learning solutions. With all the data available today, machine learning applications are limited only by your imagination. You’ll learn the steps necessary to create a successful machine-learning application with Python and the scikit-learn library. Authors Andreas Müller and Sarah Guido focus on the practical aspects of using machine learning algorithms, rather than the math behind them. Familiarity with the NumPy and matplotlib libraries will help you get even more from this book. With this book, you’ll learn: Fundamental concepts and applications of machine learning Advantages and shortcomings of widely used machine learning algorithms How to represent data processed by machine learning, including which data aspects to focus on Advanced methods for model evaluation and parameter tuning The concept of pipelines for chaining models and encapsulating your workflow Methods for working with text data, including text-specific processing techniques Suggestions for improving your machine learning and data science skills
