Machine Learning in Action

Book Description

Machine Learning is unique book that blends the foundational theories of machine learning with the practical realities of building tools for everyday data . You’ll use the flexible language to build programs that implement algorithms for data classification, forecasting, recommendations, and higher-level features like summarization and simplification.

A machine is said to learn when its improves with experience. Learning requires algorithms and programs that capture data and ferret out the interesting or useful patterns. Once the specialized domain of analysts and mathematicians, machine learning is becoming a skill needed by many.

Machine Learning is a clearly written tutorial for developers. It avoids academic language and takes you straight to the techniques you’ll use in your day-to-day work. Many () examples present the core algorithms of statistical data processing, data , and data visualization in code you can reuse. You’ll understand the concepts and how they fit in with tactical tasks like classification, forecasting, recommendations, and higher-level features like summarization and simplification.

Readers need no prior experience with machine learning or statistical processing. Familiarity with Python is helpful.

What’s inside

  • A no-nonsense introduction
  • Examples showing common ML tasks
  • Everyday data analysis
  • Implementing classic algorithms like Apriori and Adaboos

C++ Concurrency in Action

Book Description

++ Concurrency is a reference and guide to the new ++ 11 Standard for experienced ++ programmers as well as those who have never written multithreaded code. This book will show you how to write robust multithreaded applications in ++ while avoiding many common pitfalls.

Multiple processors with multiple cores are the norm these days. The C++11 version of the C++ language offers beefed-up support for multithreaded applications, and requires that you master the principles, techniques, and new language features of concurrency to stay ahead of the curve.

Without assuming you have a background in the subject, C++ Concurrency gradually enables you to write robust and elegant multithreaded applications in C++11. You’ll explore the threading memory model, the new multithreading support library, and basic thread launching and synchronization facilities. Along the way, you’ll learn how to navigate the trickier bits of for concurrency.

Written for C++ programmers who are new to concurrency and others who may have written multithreaded code using other languages, APIs, or platforms.

What’s inside

  • Written for the new C++11 Standard
  • for multiple cores and processors
  • Small examples for learning, big examples for practice

Table of Contents
Chapter 1. Hello, world of concurrency in C++!
Chapter 2. Managing threads
Chapter 3. Sharing data between threads

Chapter 6. lock-based concurrent data structures
Chapter 7. lock-free concurrent data structures
Chapter 8. Designing concurrent code
Chapter 9. Advanced thread
Chapter 10. and debugging multithreaded applications

Appendix A. Brief reference for some C++11 language features
Appendix B. Brief comparison of concurrency libraries
Appendix C. A message-passing framework and complete ATM example
Appendix D. C++ Thread Library reference
