Part 3 Advanced concepts

You’ve completed the first two parts of the book: you’ve built programs, solved case studies, and navigated the foundational challenges of unsupervised learning solutions. But machine learning, like any other discipline, art, or sport, has no finish line. It’s a constantly evolving field wherein constant upgradation is required, and to truly be a master, you must adapt and improve, innovate and learn, and push the boundaries of what you know.

In this final part of the book, we’ll dive into the more nuanced aspects of unsupervised learning. We will cover much more advanced topics that separate good data scientists from great ones: deep learning, autoencoders, generative AI, and patterns that scale across large applications. We will also cover the end-to-end lifecycle of a machine learning project, including deployment and maintenance.

But don’t be fooled—this part isn’t about quick Python codes that you can cut and paste. These advanced techniques are about developing a much more sophisticated system that can be used for datasets like text, images, and videos. It’s about making more bespoke solutions that are customizable as well as scalable. These solutions don’t just work today but will work tomorrow too.
