Scala for Machine Learning

Not a single day passes by that we do not hear about Big Data in the news media, technical conferences, and even coffee shops. The ever-increasing amount of data collected in process monitoring, research, or simple human behavior becomes valuable only if you extract knowledge from it. Machine learning is the essential tool to mine data for gold (knowledge). This book covers the "what", "why", and "how" of machine learning: • What are the objectives and the mathematical foundation of machine learning? • Why is Scala the ideal programming language to implement machine learning algorithms? • How can you apply machine learning to solve real-world problems? Throughout this book, machine learning algorithms are described with diagrams, mathematical formulation, and documented snippets of Scala code, allowing you to understand these key concepts in your own unique way.
