Advanced Analytics for Business: Generative AI and Machine Learning for Tabular Data (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781633438545)

Business runs on tabular data in databases, spreadsheets, and logs. Crunch that data using deep learning, gradient boosting, and other machine learning techniques.

Every organization in the world stores data in tables. Advanced Analytics for Business reveals practical techniques for applying machine learning techniques like deep learning and gradient boosting to your company's rows and columns.

Inside Advanced Analytics for Business you'll learn how to:

• Pick the right machine learning approach for your data
• Apply deep learning to tabular data
• Deploy tabular machine learning locally and in the cloud
• Pipelines to automatically train and maintain a model

This book collects best practices, hard-won tips and tricks, and hands-on techniques for making sense of tabular data using advanced machine learning techniques. Inside, you'll discover how to use XGBoost and LightGBM on tabular data, optimize deep learning libraries like TensorFlow and PyTorch for tabular data, and use cloud tools like Vertex AI to create an automated MLOps pipeline.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the book

Advanced Analytics for Business teaches you to train insightful machine learning models on common tabular data such as spreadsheets, databases, and logs. It covers classic machine learning techniques like gradient boosting and more contemporary deep learning approaches. You'll find practical examples for every stage of the machine learning pipeline, such as using XGBoost and Keras to predict the prices of Airbnb listings in New York City and deploying a machine learning model on your local system with Flask. By the time you're finished, you'll be equipped with the skills to apply machine learning to the kinds of data you work with every day.
