The following are the technical requirements for this chapter:
- You need to have Python 3.7 or later installed on your computer.
- You need to install additional libraries for machine learning such as SciPy, NumPy, pandas, and scikit-learn.
- To deploy an ML model on GCP's AI Platform, you will need a GCP account (a free trial will work fine).
The sample code for this chapter can be found at https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Python-for-Geeks/tree/master/Chapter13.
We will start our discussion with an introduction to machine learning.
