Ankur Awadhiya: Concepts of Machine Learning for Life Sciences, Gebunden

Klappentext

Machine learning touches our lives in quiet and remarkable ways. It helps doctors detect illnesses sooner by recognizing subtle patterns in scans and helping them make sense of medical data with speed, judgment, and care. It helps us care for our fields and forests by tracking changes that unfold over time. It helps us study the weather with a memory far longer than our own, and notices small signs that equipment may soon need attention. And when we find ourselves in unfamiliar places, it helps us translate words, find our bearings, and discover new corners to explore. And yet, even as it becomes part of daily life, its inner workings can still feel distant when you first encounter them. Concepts of Machine Learning aims to bring it within reach.

This book offers a clear and steady introduction to how machines learn from data. It explains how models begin to understand, decide, improve, and sometimes falter. Ideas build gradually, one upon another, supported by real examples and datasets in Python. The focus is insight over jargon, clarity over complexity. As these ideas become familiar, they also hold the promise of supporting the works of scientists, engineers, and students - by opening new pathways of exploration.
