Hello and welcome to the study circle in Machine Learning based on the book Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras & TensorFlow by Aurélien Géron!
This first introductory session will be made online. Follow the steps below:
- Get ahold of a copy of the book.
- Read the info on Course Plan and Setup
- Check the list of Other Resources on page xv of the Preface of the book. This could help you in finding alternative resources for the session you are responsible for.

- Read Chapter 1 and discuss the exercises given at the end of the chapter together with your classmate. Start a discussion thread and reply to others' on Discussion - Chapter 1 - The Machine Learning Landscape
- Go through Chapter 2, especially the section Create the Workspace beginning on page 45 to install python and its modules Jupyter, NumPy, Pandas, Matplotlib, and Scikit-Learn. Going through Chapter 2 will make you accustomed with Jupyter and ready for the following chapters. Help your classmates out with any software/installation issues on Software/Installation issues
- Email me (carolina.bergeling@control.lth.se) your answers to the two following questions:
