Book Description

This book serves as a complete guide to get well-versed with machine learning on the IBM Cloud Using Python. You will learn to build complete machine learning solutions with a focus on the role of data representation and feature extraction.

This book will start with supervised and unsupervised machine learning concepts with an overview of IBM Cloud and Watson Machine learning service. You will learn how to run various techniques such as K-Means Clustering, KNN, Time series prediction, Visual recognition and text-to-speech in IBM cloud with the real-world examples. You will learn to create a Spark pipeline in Watson Studio. The book will also guide you to deep learning and neural networks principles on the IBM cloud with Tensorflow. You will learn to build chatbot using NLP techniques. Later you will cover three powerful case studies such as the facial expression classification platform, Automated Classification of Lithofacies, and Multi-biometric identity authentication platform to get well-versed with the methodologies.

By the end of the book, the reader will be well-positioned to build efficient machine learning solutions on the IBM cloud. You will be well-equipped with real-world examples to draw insights from the data at hand.
