About this Item

Most businesses are far more interested in accurate forecasting and fraud detection using their existing structured datasets than identifying cats in YouTube videos. Powerful deep learning techniques can efficiently extract insight from the kind of structured data collected by most businesses and organisations.   Deep learning offers the potential to identify complex patterns and relationships hidden in data of all sorts.   Deep Learning with Structured Data shows you how to apply powerful deep learning analysis techniques to the kind of structured, tabular data you'll find in the relational databases that real-world businesses depend on. Filled with practical, relevant applications, this book teaches you how deep learning can augment your existing machine learning and business intelligence systems.   .   The benefits and drawbacks of deep learning .   Organizing data for your deep learning model .   The deep learning stack .   Measuring performance of your models   For readers with an intermediate knowledge of Python, Jupyter notebooks, and machine learning.

About the technology
Here’s a dirty secret: Half of the time in most data science projects is spent cleaning and preparing data. But there’s a better way: Deep learning techniques optimized for tabular data and relational databases deliver insights and analysis without requiring intense feature engineering. Learn the skills to unlock deep learning performance with much less data filtering, validating, and scrubbing.

About the book
Deep Learning with Structured Data teaches you powerful data analysis techniques for tabular data and relational databases. Get started using a dataset based on the Toronto transit system. As you work through the book, you’ll learn how easy it is to set up tabular data for deep learning, while solving crucial production concerns like deployment and performance monitoring.
