About this title

Synopsis

What You Will Learn in This Book

• Understand the fundamentals of machine learning (ML), including supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning, and their relevance to web development.
• Set up a robust PHP development environment for ML, integrating essential tools like Composer and the PHP-ML library.
• Implement core machine learning algorithms directly in PHP using PHP-ML, covering classification (e.g., spam detection, sentiment analysis), regression (e.g., price prediction), and clustering (e.g., customer segmentation).
• Master data preprocessing and feature engineering techniques to prepare diverse datasets for ML models, including handling missing data, normalization, and text preprocessing.
• Perform advanced data acquisition and manipulation using core PHP, reading from various sources like CSV, JSON, XML, databases, and APIs, and efficiently cleaning and transforming data.
• Seamlessly integrate PHP applications with powerful Python-based ML services, leveraging popular frameworks like Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
• Implement various PHP-Python integration strategies, including executing Python scripts, consuming REST APIs, utilizing message queues for asynchronous tasks, and understanding gRPC for high-performance communication.
• Design and build hybrid PHP/Python applications through practical case studies, demonstrating how to combine PHP for frontend and data management with Python for complex ML model training and serving.
• Gain insights into advanced ML topics such as deep learning and natural language processing, understanding when and how to integrate these capabilities into your PHP projects.
• Learn best practices for deploying and maintaining ML models within PHP applications, including saving/loading models and monitoring performance.
• Develop an awareness of the limitations of PHP in ML and ethical considerations, ensuring responsible and informed application of machine learning in your projects.
