Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of Machine Learning for Beginners,
and thank you for choosing this resource.
The realm of machine learning is experiencing a surge of opportunities, becoming an indispensable tool across various industries. Whether your interests lie in healthcare, business and finance, agriculture, clean energy, or other sectors, individuals are harnessing the power of machine learning to simplify their tasks.
Fortunately for you, and unfortunately for these industries, there is a significant shortage of talent in the field of data science and artificial intelligence. While competition remains fierce for entry-level data science positions, there is a pronounced scarcity of experienced professionals capable of filling high-level roles. Data science is a relatively new field in computer science, characterized by a younger demographic shaping its landscape.
Landing a job in data science can be financially rewarding. In 2016, the average data scientist earned around $111,000, with predicted growth in the coming years. Approximately half of data scientists in the field hold a Ph.D. While not mandatory, obtaining a Ph.D. is worth considering if you aim to establish a substantial career in data science.
For those seeking to incorporate machine learning into their skill set, enhancing understanding and implementation for future projects, a Ph.D. might not be a prerequisite. However, for aspiring professionals entering the field, pursuing higher education is recommended, as it sets you apart from the competition.
In 2019, Indeed.com deemed machine learning the best career, and the reasons are evident. The demand for skilled data scientists is soaring, promising substantial rewards. Moreover, the era of big data shows no signs of waning, given increased connectivity and unprecedented internet usage by both consumers and companies. Data has become integral to our modern world, and as data complexity and volume grow, specialized knowledge and skills are imperative for tackling the challenges.
To complement the insights provided in this book, I strongly recommend delving deeper into statistics and programming. A solid foundation in statistical knowledge is essential for any machine learning work, as statistical mathematics underpins the structure and rationale for the models and algorithms employed by data scientists.
The Purpose of This Book
This book does not aim to be an exhaustive textbook on machine learning. Instead, it provides a foundational knowledge base to propel your further studies in machine learning and artificial intelligence. To master the subject, extensive study is essential. The content delves into the general structure and organization of machine learning models, introducing common terms, and covering basic statistical concepts crucial for utilizing and comprehending machine learning.
A robust grasp of statistics and quantitative analysis is imperative for anyone aspiring to be a data scientist. Artificial intelligence and machine learning, at their core, are grounded in statistics, serving as the bedrock for the required mathematical understanding.
While coding is not a prerequisite for understanding the content of this book, it remains a significant component of machine learning. Proficiency in computer programming is necessary for data scientists to effectively guide data and communicate their objectives. While this book doesn’t provide an extensive coding guide, it directs you to resources and avenues to initiate your independent coding study. By the book’s end, I will assist you in setting up Python with the necessary libraries and toolkits to kickstart your coding journey.
Python stands out as the most widely used language in machine learning due to its versatility, ease of learning, and open availability. Other common languages include C++, though more challenging to master, and R, known for its popularity, availability, and simplicity. However, R’s limitation in handling massive datasets used in machine learning and artificial intelligence can be a drawback.
