Summary

We just finished our first mile in the Python and machine learning journey! Through this chapter, we got familiar with the basics of machine learning. We started with what machine learning is all about, the importance of machine learning (data technology era) and its brief history and recent development as well. We also learned typical machine learning tasks and explored several essential techniques of working with data and working with models. Now that we are equipped with basic machine learning knowledge, and also get software and tools set up, let's get ready for the real-world machine learning examples ahead.
