Machine Learning: Theory and Implementation with Python

About the Book

Many of us have had started or are going to start our machine learning journey with just two lines of code using model.fit() method. This is incredible, thanks to latest machine learning libraries; with little efforts now we can apply machine learning algorithms on real world datasets. However, there is one problem. This abstracts away fundamental concepts of machine learning algorithms. Not all algorithms are suitable for all types of datasets and problems. Solving machine learning problems eventually require in-depth knowledge of machine learning algorithms.

There are many machine learning books that discuss how to use machine learning libraries and apply on the datasets. Numerous books are also available that cover advanced mathematical concepts of machine learning algorithms. However, there are few resources that cover "how machine learning algorithms work" from theory and implementation angle. That's why we are calling this book as "Machine Learning: Theory and Implementation with Python".

This book is for current and aspiring machine learning practitioners, who are interested in learning "machine learning from scratch". Theoretical concepts and implementation of machine learning algorithms with practical code examples is the basis of this book. Conscious effort is made to keep this book as concise as possible, and to the point that all machine learning practitioners need to know.

Earn $8 on a $10 Purchase, and $16 on a $20 Purchase

We pay 80% royalties on purchases of $7.99 or more, and 80% royalties minus a 50 cent flat fee on purchases between $0.99 and $7.98. You earn $8 on a $10 sale, and $16 on a $20 sale. So, if we sell 5000 non-refunded copies of your book for $20, you'll earn $80,000.

(Yes, some authors have already earned much more than that on Leanpub.)

In fact, authors have earnedover $14 millionwriting, publishing and selling on Leanpub.
