Overview of this book

Machine learning as a field promises to bring increased intelligence to the software by helping us learn and analyse information efficiently and discover certain patterns that humans cannot. This book will be your guide as you embark on an exciting journey in machine learning using the popular Swift language. We’ll start with machine learning basics in the first part of the book to develop a lasting intuition about fundamental machine learning concepts. We explore various supervised and unsupervised statistical learning techniques and how to implement them in Swift, while the third section walks you through deep learning techniques with the help of typical real-world cases. In the last section, we will dive into some hard core topics such as model compression, GPU acceleration and provide some recommendations to avoid common mistakes during machine learning application development. By the end of the book, you'll be able to develop intelligent applications written in Swift that can learn for themselves.

Loading the dataset


Create and open a new IPython notebook. In the chapter's supplementary materials, you can see the file extraterrestrials.csv. Copy it to the same folder where you created your notebook. In the first cell of your notebook, execute the magical command:

In []: 
%matplotlib inline 

This is needed to see inline plots right in the notebook in the future.

The library we are using for datasets loading and manipulation is pandas. Let's import it, and load the .csv file:

In []: 
import pandas as pd 
df = pd.read_csv('extraterrestrials.csv', sep='t', encoding='utf-8', index_col=0) 

Object df is a data frame. This is a table-like data structured for efficient manipulations over the different data types. To see what's inside, execute:

In []: 
df.head() 
Out[]:
