about the technology
Unsupervised learning algorithms draw inferences from unannotated data sets. The self-organizing approach to machine learning is great for spotting patterns a human might miss.about the book
Unsupervised Learning with Python teaches you to apply the full spectrum of unsupervised learning algorithms. You’ll master everything from kmeans and hierarchical clustering, to advanced neural networks like GANs and Restricted Boltzmann Machines. Each new algorithm is introduced with a case study for retail, aviation, banking, and more—and you’ll develop a Python solution to fix each of these real-world problems.The book bridges the gap between complex math and practical Python implementations, covering end-to-end model development all the way through to production deployment. You’ll learn the business use case for different unsupervised learning models, and master best practices for structured, text, and image data. At the end of each chapter, you’ll find quizzes, practice datasets, and links to research papers to help you lock in what you’ve learned and expand your knowledge.
