Product Description

Learn how to apply test-driven development (TDD) to machine-learning algorithmsand catch mistakes that could sink your analysis. In this practical guide, author Matthew Kirk takes you through the principles of TDD and machine learning, and shows you how to apply TDD to several machine-learning algorithms, including Naive Bayesian classifiers and Neural Networks.Machine-learning algorithms often have tests baked in, but they cant account for human errors in coding. Rather than blindly rely on machine-learning results as many researchers have, you can mitigate the risk of errors with TDD and write clean, stable machine-learning code. If youre familiar with Ruby 2.1, youre ready to start.
