If you are a data scientist or a machine learning engineer, and you want to skip detailed theoretical explanations in favor of building production-ready machine learning models using TensorFlow, this book is for you. Basic familiarity with Python, linear algebra, statistics, and machine learning is necessary to make the most out of this book.
Alexia Audevart, also a Google Developer Expert in machine learning, is the founder of datactik. She is a data scientist and helps her clients solve business problems by making their applications smarter. Her first book is a collaboration on artificial intelligence and neuroscience.
Konrad Banachewicz holds a PhD in statistics from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. His academic work focused on extreme dependency modeling in credit risk. In addition to his research activities, he was a tutor and supervised master's students. He transitioned from classical statistics to data mining and machine learning before “data science” became a buzzword. Over the next decade, he tackled quantitative analysis problems in various financial institutions, becoming an expert in the full life cycle of a data product. His work spanned high-frequency trading to credit risk, predicting potato prices, and analyzing anomalies in the performance of large-scale industrial equipment. He is a believer in knowledge sharing and also competes on Kaggle.
