It's moved from an academic discipline to one of the most exciting technologies around. From understanding video feeds in self-driving cars to personalizing medications, it's becoming important in every industry. While the model architectures and concepts have received a lot of attention, machine learning has yet to go through the standardization of processes that the software industry experienced in the last two decades. In this book, we'd like to show you how to build a standardized machine learning system that is automated and results in models that are reproducible. Who Is This Book For?

A prosthetic hand that can grip and move like a normal hand could restore over 90 per cent of functionality to people with upper-limb amputations, developers claim. A team of orthopedists, industrial designers and patients worked with scientists from the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia, Italy, on the artificial hand named Hannes. The limb was designed to accurately replicate the size, weight, appearance, and natural grasping motion of a human hand to help people gain near normal control. Researchers claim Hannes is ready for market and has been given regulatory approval. The team are now working to find investors to make it a reality.

Last December in Germany, beautiful twins Amelia and Bianca were born. But, unlike her sister, Bianca's health is perilous. She was born with heart problems, is missing ribs and vertebrae and has only one kidney. She cannot breathe without the help of special medical equipment. The place Bianca calls home for now, Kinderhaus AtemReich in Munich, is the only one of its kind in the country. More typically, hospitals' intensive care units (ICUs) are long-term destinations for children with critical breathing issues.
