Description
Many machine learning problems are too complex to be resolved by a single model or algorithm. Ensemble machine learning trains a group of diverse machine learning models to work together to solve a problem. By aggregating their output, these ensemble models can flexibly deliver rich and accurate results. Ensemble Methods for Machine Learning is a guide to ensemble methods with proven records in data science competitions and real world applications. Learning from hands-on case studies, you'll develop an under-the-hood understanding of foundational ensemble learning algorithms to deliver accurate, performant models.
About the Technology Ensemble machine learning lets you make robust predictions without needing the huge datasets and processing power demanded by deep learning. It sets multiple models to work on solving a problem, combining their results for better performance than a single model working alone. This "wisdom of crowds" approach distils information from several models into a set of highly accurate results.
About the Author
Gautam Kunapuli has over 15 years of experience in academia and the machine learning industry. He has developed several novel algorithms for diverse application domains including social network analysis, text and natural language processing, behaviour mining, educational data mining and biomedical applications. He has also published papers exploring ensemble methods in relational domains and with imbalanced data.
Reviews
"The definitive and complete guide on ensemble learning. A must read!" Al Krinker
"The examples are clear and easy to reproduce, the writing is engaging and clear, and the reader is not bogged down by details which might be unimportant for beginners in the field!" Or Golan
"This book is a great tutorial on ensemble methods!" Stephen Warnett
"The code examples as well as the case studies at the end of each chapter open many possibilities of using these techniques on your data/projects." Joaquin Beltran
