商品描述
This book is for individuals with a scientific background who aspire to apply machine learning within various natural science disciplines--such as physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, psychology and many more. It elucidates core mathematical concepts in an accessible and straightforward manner, maintaining rigorous mathematical integrity. For readers more versed in mathematics, the book includes advanced sections that are not prerequisites for the initial reading. It ensures concepts are clearly defined and theorems are proven where it's pertinent. Machine learning transcends the mere implementation and training of algorithms; it encompasses the broader challenges of constructing robust datasets, model validation, addressing imbalanced datasets, and fine-tuning hyperparameters. These topics are thoroughly examined within the text, along with the theoretical foundations underlying these methods. Rather than concentrating on particular algorithms this book focuses on the comprehensive concepts and theories essential for their application. It stands as an indispensable resource for any scientist keen on integrating machine learning effectively into their research.
Numerous texts delve into the technical execution of machine learning algorithms, often overlooking the foundational concepts vital for fully grasping these methods. This leads to a gap in using these algorithms effectively across diverse disciplines. For instance, a firm grasp of calculus is imperative to comprehend the training processes of algorithms and neural networks, while linear algebra is essential for the application and efficient training of various algorithms, including neural networks. Absent a solid mathematical base, machine learning applications may be, at best, cursory, or at worst, fundamentally flawed.商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書適合具有科學背景的個人,旨在將機器學習應用於各種自然科學領域,如物理、化學、生物、醫學、心理學等。它以易於理解且直接的方式闡明核心數學概念,同時保持嚴謹的數學完整性。對於數學基礎較為扎實的讀者,本書還包含一些進階章節,這些章節並不是初讀的前提條件。書中確保概念清晰定義,並在相關處證明定理。機器學習不僅僅是算法的實施和訓練;它還涵蓋了構建穩健數據集、模型驗證、處理不平衡數據集以及微調超參數等更廣泛的挑戰。這些主題在文本中得到了徹底的探討,並且探討了這些方法背後的理論基礎。本書不專注於特定的算法,而是聚焦於其應用所需的綜合概念和理論。對於任何希望有效將機器學習整合到其研究中的科學家來說,這本書都是不可或缺的資源。
許多文本深入探討機器學習算法的技術執行,卻常常忽略了充分理解這些方法所需的基礎概念。這導致在不同學科中有效使用這些算法的差距。例如,對微積分的深刻理解對於理解算法和神經網絡的訓練過程至關重要,而線性代數則對於各種算法(包括神經網絡)的應用和高效訓練是必不可少的。缺乏堅實的數學基礎,機器學習應用可能充其量只是表面,或在最糟的情況下根本存在缺陷。
