Introduction

Machine learning (ML), without a doubt, is one of the most relevant technologies nowadays as it aims to convert information (data) into knowledge that can be used to make informed decisions. In this chapter, you will learn about the different applications of ML in today's world, as well as the role that data plays. This will be the starting point for introducing different data problems throughout this book that you will be able to solve using scikit-learn.

Scikit-learn is a well-documented and easy-to-use library that facilitates the application of ML algorithms by using simple methods, which ultimately enables beginners to model data without the need for deep knowledge of the math behind the algorithms. Additionally, thanks to the ease of use of this library, it allows the user to implement different approximations (that is, create different models) for a data problem. Moreover, by removing the task of coding the algorithm, scikit-learn allows teams to focus their...
