Sebastian Raschka is an Assistant Professor of Statistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison focusing on machine learning and deep learning research. Some of his recent research methods have been applied to solving problems in the field of biometrics for imparting privacy to face images. Other research focus areas include the development of methods related to model evaluation in machine learning, deep learning for ordinal targets, and applications of machine learning to computational biology. Vahid Mirjalili obtained his Ph.D. in mechanical engineering working on novel methods for large-scale, computational simulations of molecular structures. Currently, he is focusing his research efforts on applications of machine learning in various computer vision projects at the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Michigan State University. He recently joined 3M Company as a research scientist, where he uses his expertise and applies state-of-the-art machine learning and deep learning techniques to solve real-world problems in various applications to make life better.
"""Python Machine Learning 3rd edition is a very useful book for machine learning beginners all the way to fairly advanced readers, thoroughly covering the theory and practice of ML, with example datasets, Python code, and good pointers to the vast ML literature about advanced issues."" -- Alex Martelli, Python Software Foundation Fellow, Co-author of Python Cookbook and Python in a Nutshell ""A brilliantly approachable introduction to machine learning with Python. Raschka and Mirjalili break difficult concepts down into language the layperson can easily understand while placing these examples within real-world contexts. A worthy addition to your machine learning library!"" -- Dr Kirk Borne, Principal Data Scientist, Data Science Fellow, and Executive Advisor at Booz Allen Hamilton, and co-author of Ten Signs of Data Science Maturity ""Python Machine Learning, Third Edition is a highly practical, hands-on book that covers the field of machine learning, from theory to practice. I strongly recommend it to any practitioner who wishes to become an expert in machine learning. Excellent book!"" -- Sebastian Thrun, CEO of Kitty Hawk Corporation, and chairman and co-founder of Udacity ""I've been teaching ""Big Data Machine Learning AI"" at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School for the past several years and have employed Sebastian Raschka and Vahid Mirjalili's book ever since. I give their newest edition the highest marks for making Machine Learning digestible for the lay person. Their book is a must-have when teaching new recruits the amazing art of AI - I give their book my most enthusiastic endorsement!"" -- Jim Kyung-Soo Liew, Ph.D., Associate Professor in Finance and AI at Johns Hopkins Carey Business School"
