Deep Learning with PyTorch teaches you how to implement deep learning algorithms with Python and PyTorch. This book takes you into a fascinating case study: building an algorithm capable of detecting malignant lung tumors using CT scans. As the authors guide you through this real example, you'll discover just how effective and fun PyTorch can be. After a quick introduction to the deep learning landscape, you'll explore the use of pre-trained networks and start sharpening your skills on working with tensors. You'll find out how to represent the most common types of data with tensors and how to build and train neural networks from scratch on practical examples, focusing on images and sequences.
After covering the basics, the book will take you on a journey through larger projects. The centerpiece of the book is a neural network designed for cancer detection. You'll discover ways for training networks with limited inputs and start processing data to get some results. You'll sift through the unreliable initial results and focus on how to diagnose and fix the problems in your neural network. Finally, you'll look at ways to improve your results by training with augmented data, make improvements to the model architecture, and perform other fine tuning.

This book shows you how to run experiments on your website using A/B testing - and then takes you a huge step further by introducing you to bandit algorithms for website optimization. Author John Myles White shows you how this family of algorithms can help you boost website traffic, convert visitors to customers, and increase many other measures of success. This is the first developer-focused book on bandit algorithms, which have previously only been described in research papers. You'll learn about several simple algorithms you can deploy on your own websites to improve your business including the epsilon-greedy algorithm, the UCB algorithm and a contextual bandit algorithm. All of these algorithms are implemented in easy-to-follow Python code and be quickly adapted to your business's specific needs. You'll also learn about a framework for testing and debugging bandit algorithms using Monte Carlo simulations, a technique originally developed by nuclear physicists during World War II. Monte Carlo techniques allow you to decide whether A/B testing will work for your business needs or whether you need to deploy a more sophisticated bandits algorithm.

Statistical Rethinking: A Bayesian Course with Examples in R and Stan builds readers’ knowledge of and confidence in statistical modeling. Reflecting the need for even minor programming in today’s model-based statistics, the book pushes readers to perform step-by-step calculations that are usually automated. This unique computational approach ensures that readers understand enough of the details to make reasonable choices and interpretations in their own modeling work.
The text presents generalized linear multilevel models from a Bayesian perspective, relying on a simple logical interpretation of Bayesian probability and maximum entropy. It covers from the basics of regression to multilevel models. The author also discusses measurement error, missing data, and Gaussian process models for spatial and network autocorrelation.
By using complete R code examples throughout, this book provides a practical foundation for performing statistical inference. Designed for both PhD students and seasoned professionals in the natural and social sciences, it prepares them for more advanced or specialized statistical modeling.

"This book provides a great practical guide to get started and execute on ML within a few days without necessarily knowing much about ML apriori. The first five chapters are enough to get you started and the next few chapters provide you a good feel of more advanced topics to pursue. A wonderful book for engineers who want to incorporate ML in their day-to-day work without necessarily spending an enormous amount of time going through a formal degree program."--Deepak Agarwal, VP of Artificial Intelligence at LinkedIn
"This book is a great introduction to machine learning from a world-class practitioner and LinkedIn superstar Andriy Burkov. He managed to find a good balance between the math of the algorithms, intuitive visualizations, and easy-to-read explanations. This book will benefit the newcomers to the field as a thorough introduction to the fundamentals of machine learning, while the experienced professionals will definitely enjoy the practical recommendations from Andriy's rich experience in the field."--Karolis Urbonas, Head of Data Science at Amazon
"I wish such a book existed when I was a statistics graduate student trying to learn about machine learning. There is the right amount of math which demystify the centerpiece of an algorithm with succinct but very clear descriptions. I'm also impressed by the widespread coverage and good choices of important methods as an introductory book (not all machine learning books mention things like learning to rank or metric learning). Highly recommended to STEM major students."--Chao Han, VP, Head of R&D at Lucidworks
