Buch. Condición: Neu. This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware -Machine learning is a dynamic and rapidly expanding field focused on creating algorithms that empower computers to recognize patterns, make predictions and continually enhance performance. It enables computers to learn from data and experiences, making decisions without explicit programming. For learners, mastering the fundamentals of machine learning opens doors to a world of possibilities to build robust and accurate models. In the ever-evolving landscape of machine learning, datasets play a pivotal role in shaping its future. The field has been revolutionized with the introduction of oneAPI, which provides a unified programming model across different architectures, including CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs and accelerators, fostering an efficient and portable programming environment. Embracing this unified model empowers practitioners to build efficient and scalable machine learning solutions, marking a significant stride in cross-architecture development. Dive into this fascinating field to master machine learning concepts with the step-by-step approach outlined in this book and contribute to its exciting future. 260 pp. Englisch.…
