About this title

Synopsis

This book introduces C++ programmers to the world of machine learning. If you know C++ but haven't worked with machine learning solutions before, this book is a good place to start learning the basics and experimenting with the language's essential concepts and techniques.

The book starts off by showing you how to set up a development environment and put together some basic neural networks using the Flashlight library. It then covers essential tasks like data preprocessing, model training, and evaluation, with practical examples that show how machine learning works in a C++ context. You will also learn strategies for dealing with common problems like overfitting and performance optimization. The next few chapters get into more complex topics like convolutional neural networks, model deployment, and some key performance tuning techniques. This will help you develop and integrate your own models into applications.

By the end of the book, you will have essential hands-on experience and a better clarity to explore and expand your machine learning knowledge in C++. This book doesn't aim to cover everything, but it does serve as a good starting point for you to confidently dive into the world of machine learning and deep learning.

Key Learnings

• Use Flashlight to set up a C++ environment for machine learning projects.
• Implement neural networks from scratch to gain a hands-on understanding.
