Over the last few years, Google and Coursera have regularly teamed up to launch a number of online courses for developers and IT pros. Among those was the Machine Learning Crash course, which provides developers with an introduction to machine learning. Now, building on that, the two companies are launching a machine learning specialization on Coursera. This new specialization, which consists of five courses, has an even more practical focus. The new specialization, called "Machine Learning with TensorFlow on Google Cloud Platform," has students build real-world machine learning models. It takes them from setting up their environment to learning how to create and sanitize datasets to writing distributed models in TensorFlow, improving the accuracy of those models and tuning them to find the right parameters.

As the amount of data continues to grow at an almost incomprehensible rate, being able to understand and process data is becoming a key differentiator for IT professionals and data-scientists. The scikit-learn library is one of the most popular platforms for everyday Machine Learning and data science because it is built upon Python, a fully featured programming language. This comprehensive 3-in-1 course is your one-stop solution to everything that matters in mastering machine learning algorithms and their implementation. Develop pipelines and process data through manipulation, extraction, and data-cleansing techniques. Learn clean coding techniques which are applicable to any scalable Machine Learning projects.

Artificial intelligence and its sub-domains look set to be the next major growth area for software developers, programmers, hackers and just about anyone who has anything to do with software. There doesn't appear to be an area of life that it doesn't touch – self-driving cars, tagging porn stars on Pornhub, healthcare, security and so on. The sad truth, though, is that most of us don't understand the field. For the most part, it's not like "normal" programming where an algorithm is developed, tested and released as a product. Machine learning, for example, relies on selecting a model, developing it, training the model, testing and then releasing.

Python is a popular general purpose programming language used for both large and small-scale applications. Python's wide-spread adoption is due in part to its large standard library, easy readability and support of multiple paradigms including functional, procedural and object-oriented programming styles.This Course follows pragmatic approach to tackle end-to-end data science project cycle right from extracting data from different types of sources to exposing your machine learning model as API endpoints that can be consumed in a real-world data solution. This course will not only help you to understand various data science related concepts, but also help you to implement the concepts in an industry standard approach by utilizing Python and related libraries. By the end of this course, you will have a solid foundation to handle any data science project and have the knowledge to apply various Python libraries to create your own data science solutions.

This course is a lead-in to deep learning and neural networks - it covers a popular and fundamental technique used in machine learning, data science and statistics: logistic regression. We cover the theory from the ground up: derivation of the solution, and applications to real-world problems. We show you how one might code their own logistic regression module in Python. This course does not require any external materials. Everything needed (Python, and some Python libraries) can be obtained for free.

All businesses introduce new products for various reasons. The new products poses challenge for the planners and marketing executives to estimate the demand for them for merchandise and supply planning purposes. The primary reason being the lack of historical data that can be used for forecasting. These techniques are'By Analogy' and'Bass Diffusion' including a live demonstration using a planning software. While Analogy is the more popular technique, the issue most planners face in this technique is in choosing the right analogue product.

With the acceleration and growth of technology we are in a new age. With technology like Natural Language Processing we are able to create and build applications that can change the world. We have the tools in the palm of our hands just need to understand how use them. Learn and build applications on one of the most cutting edge technology fields today with this easy to understand course on the Four Keys to Natural Language Processing. With this course you will be able to understand why NLP is a driving force to change the way we interact with computers, learn from data, and solve problems.

For good reason, deep learning is increasingly capturing mainstream attention. Just recently, on March 15th, Google DeepMind's AlphaGo AI -- technology based on deep neural networks -- beat Lee Sedol, one of the world's best Go players, in a professional Go match. Behind the scenes, deep learning is an active, fast-paced research area that's proliferating quickly among some of the world's most innovative companies. We are asked frequently about our favorite resources to get up to speed on deep learning and follow its rapid developments. As such, we've outlined below some of our favorite resources. While certainly not comprehensive, there's a lot here, and we'll continue to update this list -- if there's something we should add, let us know.

Data is becoming a force to recon with. With the amount of data that is being generated every minute, dealing with data has become more important. The importance of data lies in the fact that it allows us to look at our history and predict the future. Data Science is the field that deals with collecting, sorting, organizing and also analyzing huge amounts of data. This data is then used to understand the current and future trends.

The real power and value proposition of Apache Spark is its speed and platform to execute data processing and data science tasks. Let's see how easy it is! Packt's Video Learning Paths are a series of individual video products put together in a logical and stepwise manner such that each video builds on the skills learned in the video before it. Spark is one of the most widely-used large-scale data processing engines and runs extremely fast. It is a framework that has tools that are equally useful for application developers as well as data scientists.
