Through a recent series of breakthroughs, deep learning has boosted the entire field of machine learning. Now, even programmers who know close to nothing about this technology can use simple, efficient tools to implement programs capable of learning from data. This bestselling book uses concrete examples, minimal theory, and production-ready Python frameworks (Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow) to help you gain an intuitive understanding of the concepts and tools for building intelligent systems.

With this updated third edition, author Aurélien Géron explores a range of techniques, starting with simple linear regression and progressing to deep neural networks. Numerous code examples and exercises throughout the book help you apply what you've learned. Programming experience is all you need to get started.

  • Use Scikit-learn to track an example ML project end to end
  • Explore several models, including support vector machines, decision trees, random forests, and ensemble methods
  • Exploit unsupervised learning techniques such as dimensionality reduction, clustering, and anomaly detection
  • Dive into neural net architectures, including convolutional nets, recurrent nets, generative adversarial networks, autoencoders, diffusion models, and transformers
  • Use TensorFlow and Keras to build and train neural nets for computer vision, natural language processing, generative models, and deep reinforcement learning

Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow

HOML
Prerequisites

This book assumes that you have some Python programming experience and that you are familiar with Python’s main scientific libraries, in particular NumPy, Pandas, and Matplotlib.

Also, if you care about what’s under the hood, you should have a reasonable understanding of college-level math as well (calculus, linear algebra, probabilities, and statistics).

About this Book

Machine Learning in Your Projects

So, naturally you are excited about Machine Learning and would love to join the party! Perhaps you'd like to give your homemade robot a brain of its own? Make it recognize faces? Or learn to walk around? Or maybe your company has tons of data (user logs, financial data, production data, machine sensor data, hotline stats, HR reports, etc.), and more than likely you could unearth some hidden gems if you just knew where to look. With Machine Learning, you can accomplish the following & much more:

  • Segment customers and find the best marketing strategy for each group.
  • Recommend products for each client based on what similar clients bought.
  • Detect which transactions are likely to be fraudulent.
  • Forecast next year’s revenue.
Aurélien Géron Machine Learning

Objective and Approach

This book assumes that you know close to nothing about Machine Learning. Its goal is to give you the concepts, tools, and intuition you need to implement programs capable of learning from data.

We will cover a large number of techniques, from the simplest and most commonly used (such as Linear Regression) to some of the Deep Learning techniques that regularly win competitions. For this, we will be using production-ready Python frameworks:

  • Scikit-Learn is very easy to use, yet it implements many Machine Learning algorithms efficiently, so it makes for a great entry point to learning Machine Learning.

  • TensorFlow is a more complex library for distributed numerical computation. It makes it possible to train and run very large neural networks efficiently by distributing the computations across potentially hundreds of multi-GPU (graphics processing unit) servers. TensorFlow (TF) was created at Google and supports many of its large-scale Machine Learning applications.

  • Keras is a high-level Deep Learning API that makes it very simple to train and run neural networks. Keras comes bundled with TensorFlow, and it relies on TensorFlow for all the intensive computations.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Aurélien Géron is a Machine Learning consultant. A former Googler, he led YouTube's video classification team from 2013 to 2016. He was also a founder and CTO of Wifirst from 2002 to 2012, a leading Wireless ISP in France, and a founder and CTO of Polyconseil in 2001, a telecom consulting firm.

Before this he worked as an engineer in a variety of domains: finance (JP Morgan and Société Générale), defense (Canada’s DOD), and healthcare (blood transfusion). He published a few technical books (on C++, WiFi, and Internet architectures), and was a Computer Science lecturer in a French engineering school.

A few fun facts: he taught his 3 children to count in binary with their fingers (up to 1023), he studied microbiology and evolutionary genetics before going into software engineering, and his parachute didn’t open on the 2nd jump.

    I have just finished Hands-On ML book and I cannot recommend it enough.

    I have been working as a Mobile Software Developer for 12 years and now I am thinking about trying something new. I remember some Math and Statistics from school but definitely not enough to get deep into the subject.

    From my experience, you can read the book and finish all the exercises without understanding any of the Math (although as author points out, it is beneficial if you understand the Math behind it - e.g. to understand why it works, read and implement papers).

    Book goes into the detail and explains the history of how we got there so it was fairly easy for me to follow and understand majority of the book. I missed this kind of detail from ML courses that I tried. You will also see significant papers explained - something that would be difficult for me to do alone at this point.

    However, one thing I appreciated the most were the exercises. In ML courses I tried, the exercises were simple and too easy to give you anything. Here it was a real challenge and I have a good feeling about what I learned by doing those exercises.

    There are also a lot of references for books or papers in case you want to focus on a specific area.

    One blind spot I am seeing though is focus on Keras/TensorFlow and GCP pipeline whereas the most examples on internet seem to be from PyTorch and AWS as a most popular cloud solution. However, as author points out, if you know one it will be easy for you to switch (I also reimplemented some of the PyTorch projects as part of exercises without too much difficulty). Still, I need to think about it and get some more PyTorch and AWS experience.

    It's a very good introductory book to supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms. It has a lot of code and brief explanations of the theory. It's a very good start if you want to venture into the world of machine learning.

    Wow! What a thorough and well written book. It starts out with examples if you are purely interested in how to apply ML methods. The rest of the book takes a deeper dive into what the different algorithms are doing and gives examples of how to apply each method. I think the level of the writing is a great balance between thoroughness and approachability. My background is in mechanical engineering and I find the detail of the book to be satisfying, without getting so bogged down in theory and proofs as to make it overwhelming. It is also very comprehensive - you could use this book as a reference for looking up more detail about specific algorithms as they come up in your work/learning, but I am actually enjoying reading it cover-to-cover to broaden my understanding of the subject.
    Finally, you can't beat the price for a book of this quality. This well exceeded my expectations.

    This book is the best one I have been looking for in my career development. I appreciate your quick service delivery, and I thank the Author for the tough work they have done with us.
    However, the cost of transport is so challenging (from the AMAZON/USA to Africa/Ghana is so expensive), and the book cover page would be a hard one instead of a paper cover, as the book is heavier.

    Thank you.

    Ottimo libro per chi vuole padroneggiare il machine learning e il deep learning in modo pratico. Gli esempi con scikit-learn aiutano a capire bene i concetti di base, mentre le parti su Keras e TensorFlow mostrano come costruire e addestrare reti neurali anche complesse. L’autore riesce a spiegare con chiarezza temi tecnici come regularization, ottimizzazione e reti convoluzionali, senza mai risultare pesante. Una guida aggiornata, solida e ricca di codice, perfetta per chi lavora già con Python e vuole applicare davvero le tecniche di AI nei propri progetti.
