★★☆☆☆ |

|
<p>It's hard to explain this book, mostly because it's hard to get to whom it is |
|
targeted.</p> |
|
<p>Is it targeted to people that already know Machine Learning and want to learn |
|
Python? No, the book goes into lengths into some algorithms and has "easy to |
|
write, but not quite right" code to do so.</p> |
|
<p>Is it targeted to people that know Python but want to learn Machine Learning? |
|
No; even if some algorithms are explained in length, some aren't and there is |
|
very little "you use this when you have data like that" explanations. |
|
Actually, there is very little explanation on where an algorithm should be |
|
used.</p> |
|
<p>Is it targeted to people that don't know Python and don't know Machine |
|
Learning and want to learn but? This is the gray area of the book: Again, the |
|
code is pretty simple and does not follow Python coding standards and the ML |
|
part is really shallow on the "when" and "why" sections.</p> |
|
<p>In the end, the book is simply an extended version of Scikit-Learn manual -- |
|
and I even have doubts if the manual isn't better because it explains when an |
|
algorithm should be used.</p> |
