Mushrooms, Goats, and Machine Learning: What do they all have in common? You may never know unless you get started exploring the fundamentals of Machine Learning with Dr. Tim Oates, Synaptiq's Chief Data Scientist. You can read and visualize his new book in Python, tinker with inputs, and practice machine learning techniques for free. |

MACHINE LEARNING
Mushrooms, Goats, & Machine Learning
Start learning with Dr. Tim Oates today
New chapters will be released on a rolling basis. Follow us on social to find out when each new chapter drops.
The free digital book has two goals. The first is to provide an accessible and rigorous introduction to the fundamentals of machine learning, with equal emphasis on both accessibility and rigor. We make it free because machine learning is an exciting field that is impacting people's lives in sometimes profound ways, so it's important that the field's promise and pitfalls be well understood by those who take an interest.
The second goal of this book is to promote learning through experimentation - thus the use of Python notebooks.

Chapter 1
This chapter explores some fundamental concepts in and about machine learning, including what machine learning is and how machines can be made to learn, starting with a thought experiment. As the experiment progresses the discussion will become more general and less grounded in a specific scenario.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
PROFESSOR OATES IS A STALWART IN THE FIELD OF MACHINE LEARNING. IN ADDITION TO BEING A BRILLIANT RESEARCHER, HE IS AN EMPATHETIC TEACHER WHO GENUINELY CARES FOR HIS STUDENTS, UNDERSTANDS WHERE STUDENTS FACE DIFFICULTIES, AND PROVIDES GUIDANCE ON HOW TO OVERCOME THEM. HE EMPHASIZES PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS THAT MAKE A POSITIVE IMPACT ON HUMANITY. I HIGHLY ENCOURAGE MACHINE LEARNING ENTHUSIASTS TO READ HIS NEW BOOK.

Read & Visualize in Python
You'll find code scattered throughout the text, some of which generates graphs and tables. There is code that constitutes bare bones but highly understandable implementations of common machine learning algorithms, and there is code that demonstrates machine learning concepts that stand apart from specific algorithms.

Enjoy Hands-On UX
You will be free to tinker with all of it; trying different inputs or even modifying the code to see what happens. Sometimes the text will suggest things for you to try within the text, but surely other ideas will come to mind. The science and practice of machine learning are like any other human activity, you get better with experience.


A new and unique way to learn
Dr. Oates will be listening and open to feedback along the way, tailoring chapters to learners questions and comments. An entirely new way to experience learning machine learning.
Start now:
Synaptiq focuses on the humankind of AI; building a better world as we lean into an age of human and machine interaction. We believe solving serious challenges, making real impact and saving lives is worth every waking moment. So we collaborate and make thoughtful considerations across disciplines examining past, present and future models of merit. Whether history, science, math, nature, human behavior; they all inform the data and ideas that help us find answers to world-class riddles.
We keep our AI on people because AI is how we do it, humanity is why we do it.
