One of Mark Cuban’s top reads for better understanding A.I. (inc.com, 2021)

Your comprehensive entry-level guide to machine learning

While machine learning expertise doesn’t quite mean you can create your own Turing Test-proof android—as in the movie Ex Machina—it is a form of artificial intelligence and one of the most exciting technological means of identifying opportunities and solving problems fast and on a large scale. Anyone who masters the principles of machine learning is mastering a big part of our tech future and opening up incredible new directions in careers that include fraud detection, optimizing search results, serving real-time ads, credit-scoring, building accurate and sophisticated pricing models—and way, way more.

Unlike most machine learning books, the fully updated 2nd Edition of Machine Learning For Dummies doesn't assume you have years of experience using programming languages such as Python (R source is also included in a downloadable form with comments and explanations), but lets you in on the ground floor, covering the entry-level materials that will get you up and running building models you need to perform practical tasks. It takes a look at the underlying—and fascinating—math principles that power machine learning but also shows that you don't need to be a math whiz to build fun new tools and apply them to your work and study.

Understand the history of AI and machine learning
Work with Python 3.8 and TensorFlow 2.x (and R as a download)
Build and test your own models
Use the latest datasets, rather than the worn out data found in other books
Apply machine learning to real problems

Whether you want to learn for college or to enhance your business or career performance, this friendly beginner's guide is your best introduction to machine learning, allowing you to become quickly confident using this amazing and fast-developing technology that's impacting lives for the better all over the world.

Very nice and what I need

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 20, 2022

Verified Purchase

I needed this book to solid the fundamentals for Machine Learning and this book is the right choice for me. I loved it.
I just have one comment that I wish they were able to improve the material for the book cover it is very easy to get scratched.

Reviewed in Canada 🇨🇦 on February 9, 2022

Verified Purchase

Contrary to what is anounced in the book the examples of programs are not downloadable from the editor's website. This added to the poor proofreading of the examples printed in the book, and not many guidance, makes their use cumbersome, andfor sure you will get expertise in debugging before mastering the subject.

There was quite an effort for covering many aspects of machine reading, from a tutorial for Python to overview of libraries, but I find the choosen examples superficial and not anymore linked to the latest evolution in the domain.

many web links do not work

Reviewed in Italy 🇮🇹 on July 23, 2022

The number of links that are not working is high. The feather-format of the datasets in the massaron repository are problematic: in my conda version the necessary feather package does not install, thus the dataset are not usable as written in the book.

Not clear enough

Not clear enough to be considered a good book

Had to resort to many blog posts to get a better explained view of different ML concepts, which is not satisfactory
