BOOK LAUNCH 🎉Sculpting Data For ML - The first act of Machine Learning
2020 was unprecedented. My heart goes out to all who had a difficult year 🤍 Losing the privilege to socialize as much and be outdoors, it gave Rishabh Misra an opportunity to do something that was always on our bucket list.
WRITE A BOOK.
Excited to share that our book "Sculpting Data for ML: The first act of Machine Learning" launched worldwide on January 18, 2021 🚀 The book is a culmination of our experiences in Machine Learning and Data Science. It introduces the readers to the first act of Machine Learning, Dataset Curation which often does not gets its due limelight in Academia or Industry.
The book puts forward practical tips to identify valuable information from the extensive amount of crude data available at our fingertips. The step-by-step guide accompanies code examples in Python from the extraction of real-world datasets created by the authors themselves. It also illustrates ways to hone the skills of extracting meaningful datasets. In addition, the book dives deep into how data fits into the Machine Learning ecosystem and tries to highlight the impact good quality data can have on the Machine Learning system's performance.,/p>
The book is endorsed by leading ML experts from both academia and industry. It has forewords by:
- Julian McAuley, Associate Professor at University of California San Diego
- Laurence Moroney, Lead Artificial Intelligence Advocate at Google
- Mengting Wan, Senior Applied Scientist at Microsoft
