The field of machine learning has matured to the point where many sophisticated learning approaches can be applied to practical applications. Thus it is of critical importance that researchers have the proper tools to evaluate learning approaches and understand the underlying issues. This book examines various aspects of the evaluation process with an emphasis on classification algorithms. The authors describe several techniques for classifier performance assessment, error estimation and resampling, obtaining statistical significance as well as selecting appropriate domains for evaluation. They also present a unified evaluation framework and highlight how different components of evaluation are both significantly interrelated and interdependent. The techniques presented in the book are illustrated using R and WEKA, facilitating better practical insight as well as implementation. Aimed at researchers in the theory and applications of machine learning, this book offers a solid basis for conducting performance evaluations of algorithms in practical settings.
Machine Learning Algorithms and Applications
Machine Learning Algorithms is for current and ambitious machine learning specialists looking to implement solutions to real-world machine learning problems. It talks entirely about the various applications of machine and deep learning techniques, with each chapter dealing with a novel approach of machine learning architecture for a specific application, and then compares the results with previous algorithms. The book discusses many methods based in different fields, including statistics, pattern recognition, neural networks, artificial intelligence, sentiment analysis, control, and data mining, in order to present a unified treatment of machine learning problems and solutions. All learning algorithms are explained so that the user can easily move from the equations in the book to a computer program.
