Description

The surge in interest in machine learning (ML) is due to the fact that it revolutionizes automation by learning patterns in data and using them to make predictions and decisions. If you’re interested in ML, this book will serve as your entry point to ML. Python Machine Learning By Example begins with an introduction to important ML concepts and implementations using Python libraries. Each chapter of the book walks you through an industry adopted application. You’ll implement ML techniques in areas such as exploratory data analysis, feature engineering, and natural language processing (NLP) in a clear and easy-to-follow way. With the help of this extended and updated edition, you’ll understand how to tackle data-driven problems and implement your solutions with the powerful yet simple Python language and popular Python packages and tools such as TensorFlow, scikit-learn, gensim, and Keras. To aid your understanding of popular ML algorithms, the book covers interesting and easy-to-follow examples such as news topic modeling and classification, spam email detection, stock price forecasting, and more. By the end of the book, you’ll have put together a broad picture of the ML ecosystem and will be well-versed with the best practices of applying ML techniques to make the most out of new opportunities.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Python ML By Example (BE) is a good complement to Python ML Third Edition (3E). The 3E book focuses on the theory and general application of ML programming, while the BE book focuses an specific application examples.While they both tackle ML programming, their approach is different. The BE book assumes you have a reasonable, foundational background in ML and uses that basis to create specific ML-based applications.For example, whereas 3E has a simple note about Naïve Bayes classification, the BE book has a whole chapter dedicated to the algorithm, discussing the different types of classification methods, how Naïve Bayes works, and then actually implementing a Naïve Bayes application. On the flip side, the 3E book has a whole chapter dedicated just to the different classifiers and different implementations of them using scikit-learn.It's almost like the 3E book is a textbook and the BE book is its complementary workbook for practice. While you may be able to be successful with either one, combining them really maximizes your ML learning.To speak about the BE book in more detail, the topics covered include:*Introduction to Python ML, including software installation*Using Naïve Bayes algorithm to create movie recommendation application*Using SVM for facial recognition*Using tree-based algorithms to predict ad click-through*Using Apache Spark to work with large data sets*Using regression algorithms and neural networks to predict the stock market*Using text analysis and NLP to data mine newsgroups*Using unsupervised learning models to identify newsgroups topics*Using different types of neural networks for different types of analysis approaches*Using reinforcement learning for decision making*ML best practicesIt is a long book (nearly 500 pages), but the material is invaluable for anyone in the ML field, especially if you don't have a lot of experience with the different algorithms. And in conjunction with 3E, you almost have a complete ML curriculum.
