Overview of this book

Machine learning is a subset of AI that aims to make modern-day computer systems smarter and more intelligent. The real power of machine learning resides in its algorithms, which make even the most difficult things capable of being handled by machines. However, with the advancement in the technology and requirements of data, machines will have to be smarter than they are today to meet the overwhelming data needs; mastering these algorithms and using them optimally is the need of the hour. Mastering Machine Learning Algorithms is your complete guide to quickly getting to grips with popular machine learning algorithms. You will be introduced to the most widely used algorithms in supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised machine learning, and will learn how to use them in the best possible manner. Ranging from Bayesian models to the MCMC algorithm to Hidden Markov models, this book will teach you how to extract features from your dataset and perform dimensionality reduction by making use of Python-based libraries such as scikit-learn v0.19.1. You will also learn how to use Keras and TensorFlow 1.x to train effective neural networks. If you are looking for a single resource to study, implement, and solve end-to-end machine learning problems and use-cases, this is the book you need.

Fuzzy C-means


We have already talked about the difference between hard and soft clustering, comparing K-means with Gaussian mixtures. Another way to address this problem is based on the concept of fuzzy logic, which was proposed for the first time by Lotfi Zadeh in 1965 (for further details, a very good reference is An Introduction to Fuzzy Sets, Pedrycz W., Gomide F., The MIT Press). Classic logic sets are based on the law of excluded middle that, in a clustering scenario, can be expressed by saying that a sample xi can belong only to a single cluster cj. Speaking more generally, if we split our universe into labeled partitions, a hard clustering approach will assign a label to each sample, while a fuzzy (or soft) approach allows managing a membership degree (in Gaussian mixtures, this is an actual probability), wij which expresses how strong the relationship is between sample xi and cluster cj. Contrary to other methods, by employing fuzzy logic it's possible to define asymmetric sets...
