About this course

Algorithms of the Intelligent Web teaches you how to create machine learning applications that crunch and wrangle data collected from users, web applications, and website logs. In this totally revised edition, you’ll look at intelligent algorithms that extract real value from data. Key machine learning concepts are explained with code examples in Pythons scikit-learn. This course guides you through algorithms to capture, store, and structure data streams coming from the web. You’ll explore recommendation engines and dive into classification via statistical algorithms, neural networks, and deep learning.
