New MEAP! ML.NET for Machine Learning and Generative AI

Create production quality machine learning models in C# without leaving the .NET ecosystem.

In ML.NET for Machine Learning and Generative AI you'll learn:

  • Machine learning fundamentals
  • Supervised, unsupervised, and reinforced model training
  • Build and train models with C# code
  • Automating the machine learning process

You’ll begin with the basics of machine learning, explained through engaging real-world examples. Next, you’ll discover how ML.NET can streamline common ML tasks, and explore models that grow in complexity from a simple classification algorithm to advanced object detection in images. Throughout the book, you’ll go hands-on to develop your own artificial intelligence tool that can give feedback and suggestions on writing clean and well-structured code. [Read more]

Now in print! Snowflake Data Engineering

A practical introduction to data engineering on the powerful Snowflake cloud data platform.

Data engineers create the pipelines that ingest raw data, transform it, and funnel it to the analysts and professionals who need it. The Snowflake cloud data platform provides a suite of productivity-focused tools and features that simplify building and maintaining data pipelines.

In Snowflake Data Engineering you'll learn how to:

  • Ingest data into Snowflake from both cloud and local file systems
  • Transform data using functions, stored procedures, and SQL
  • Orchestrate data pipelines with streams and tasks, and monitor their execution
  • Use Snowpark to run Python code in your pipelines
  • Deploy Snowflake objects and code using continuous integration principles
  • Optimize performance and costs when ingesting data into Snowflake

Along the way, you’ll practice the most important data engineering tasks as you work through relevant hands-on examples. Throughout, author Maja Ferle shares design tips drawn from her years of experience to ensure your pipeline follows the best practices of software engineering, security, and data governance.

Now in print! Build a Large Language Model (from Scratch)

Physicist Richard P. Feynman reportedly said, “I don’t understand anything I can’t build.” Based on this same powerful principle, bestselling author Sebastian Raschka guides you step by step as you build a GPT-style LLM that you can run on your laptop.

Build a Large Language Model (From Scratch) teaches you how to:

  • Plan and code all the parts of an LLM
  • Prepare a dataset suitable for LLM training
  • Fine-tune LLMs for text classification and with your own data
  • Use human feedback to ensure your LLM follows instructions
  • Load pretrained weights into an LLM
  • And much more!

As you work through each key part of LLM creation, you’ll develop an in-depth understanding of how LLMs work, their limitations, and their customization methods. Your LLM can be developed on an ordinary laptop, and used as your own personal assistant! [Read more]
