About this Item

Paperback. Teaches the machine learning process for business students and professionals using automated machine learning, a new development in data science that requires only a few weeks to learn instead of years of trainingThough the concept of computers learning to solve a problem may still conjure thoughts of futuristic artificial intelligence, the reality is that machine learning algorithms now exist within mostmajor software, including Websites and even word processors. These algorithms are transforming society in the most radical way since the Industrial Revolution, primarily through automating tasks such as deciding whichusers to advertise to, which machines are likely to break down, and which stock to buy and sell. While this work no longer always requires advanced technical expertise, it is crucial that practitioners and students alike understand the world of machine learning.In this book, Kai R. Larsen and Daniel S. Becker teach the machine learning process using a new development in data science: automated machine learning (AutoML). AutoML, when implemented properly, makes machinelearning accessible by removing the need for years of experience in the most arcane aspects of data science, such as math, statistics, and computer science. Larsen and Becker demonstrate how anyonetrained in the use of AutoML can use it to test their ideas and support the quality of those ideas during presentations to management and stakeholder groups. Because the requisite investment is a few weeks rather than a few years of training, these tools will likely become a core component of undergraduate and graduate programs alike.With first-hand examples from the industry-leading DataRobot platform, Automated Machine Learning for Business provides a clearoverview of the process and engages with essential tools for the future of data science.

About this title

Synopsis

This book teaches the full process of how to conduct machine learning in an organizational setting. It develops the problem-solving mind-set needed for machine learning and takes the reader through several exercises using an automated machine learning tool. To build experience with machine learning, the book provides access to the industry-leading AutoML tool, DataRobot, and provides several data sets designed to build deep hands-on knowledge of machine learning.
