Algorithms are the backbone of all programming and govern how your programs process and store data. Solving many programming problems is often just a matter of picking the right algorithms for the job. Discover tested and proven algorithms for AI, big data, and more with this free mini ebook!
about the book
Exploring Algorithms showcases chapters from three Manning books chosen by author and algorithm expert
Marcello La Rocca. In the first chapter, you’ll delve into evolutionary algorithms, which draw on our knowledge of biological evolution to solve difficult machine learning problems. Next, you’ll examine a data structure designed expressly to tackle the (in)famous nearest neighbor problem. The last chapter spotlights ways to transform fundamental algorithms and data structures into ones that scale well to large datasets. Glimpse the tip of the algorithm iceberg with this free mini ebook!
