Summary

We just finished our first mile on the Python and machine learning journey! Throughout this chapter, we became familiar with the basics of machine learning. We started with what machine learning is all about, the importance of machine learning and its brief history, and looked at recent developments as well. We also learned typical machine learning tasks and explored several essential techniques to work with data and models. Now that we’re equipped with basic machine learning knowledge and have set up the software and tools, let’s get ready for the real-world machine learning examples ahead.

In the next chapter, we will build a movie recommendation engine as our first machine learning project!
