Summary
This chapter covered what ML is and why it’s so important. We talked about the main classes of ML techniques and some of the most popular classic ML algorithms. We also introduced a particular type of ML algorithm, called NNs, which is the basis for DL. Then, we looked at a coding example where we used a popular ML library to solve a particular classification problem.
In the next chapter, we’ll cover NNs in more detail and explore their theoretical justifications.
