For Machine Learning algorithms to work their magic, it is imperative to lay a firm foundation with relevant data. \u003cb\u003eSculpting Data for ML\u003c\/b\u003e introduces the readers to the first act of Machine Learning, \u003ci\u003eDataset Curation\u003c\/i\u003e. This book puts forward practical tips to identify valuable information from the extensive amount of crude data available at our fingertips. The step-by-step guide accompanies code examples in Python from the extraction of real-world datasets and illustrates ways to hone the skills of extracting meaningful datasets. In addition, the book also dives deep into how data fits into the Machine Learning ecosystem and tries to highlight the impact good quality data can have on the Machine Learning system's performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWhat's Inside?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Significance of data in Machine Learning\u003cbr\u003e* Identification of relevant data signals\u003cbr\u003e* End-to-end process of data collection and dataset construction\u003cbr\u003e* Overview of extraction tools like \u003ci\u003eBeautifulSoup\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eSelenium\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e* Step-by-step guide with \u003ci\u003ePython\u003c\/i\u003e code examples of real-world use cases\u003cbr\u003e* Synopsis of \u003ci\u003eData Preprocessing\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFeature Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e techniques\u003cbr\u003e* Introduction to Machine Learning paradigms from a data perspective\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis book is for Machine Learning researchers, practitioners, or enthusiasts who want to tackle the data availability challenges to address real-world problems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe authors \u003cb\u003eJigyasa Grover \u0026amp; Rishabh Misra\u003c\/b\u003e are Machine Learning Engineers by profession and are passionate about tackling real-world problems leveraging their data curation and ML expertise.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book is endorsed by leading ML experts from both academia and industry.
