While science has always had an intimate relationship with prediction, machine learning amplified this focus. But can this hyper-focus on prediction models be justified? Can a machine learning model be part of a scientific model? Or are we on the wrong track?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, we explore and justify supervised machine learning in science. However, a naive application of supervised learning won't get you far because machine learning in raw form is unsuitable for science. After all, it lacks interpretability, uncertainty quantification, causality, and many more desirable attributes. Yet, we already have all the puzzle pieces needed to improve machine learning, from incorporating domain knowledge and ensuring the representativeness of the training data to creating robust, interpretable, and causal models. The problem is that the solutions are scattered everywhere.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this book, we bring together the philosophical justification and the solutions that make supervised machine learning a powerful tool for science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfter the introduction, the book consists of two parts: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 1 justifies the use of machine learning in science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart 2 discusses how to integrate machine learning into science.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christoph Molnar,Timo Freiesleben\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3911578008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783911578004\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Christoph Molnar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/31\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 276\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.58d","brand":"Christoph Molnar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48454203703551,"sku":"9783911578004","price":36.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7860d2e6-1cef-4f61-8004-5e05be8c529e.jpg?v=1777304796","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/supervised-machine-learning-for-science-christoph-molnar-9783911578004","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
