Practical Machine Learning with H2O: Powerful, Scalable Techniques for Deep Learning and AI 1st Edition
Purchase options and add-ons
Machine learning has finally come of age. With H2O software, you can perform machine learning and data analysis using a simple open source framework that’s easy to use, has a wide range of OS and language support, and scales for big data. This hands-on guide teaches you how to use H20 with only minimal math and theory behind the learning algorithms.
If you’re familiar with R or Python, know a bit of statistics, and have some experience manipulating data, author Darren Cook will take you through H2O basics and help you conduct machine-learning experiments on different sample data sets. You’ll explore several modern machine-learning techniques such as deep learning, random forests, unsupervised learning, and ensemble learning.
- Learn how to import, manipulate, and export data with H2O
- Explore key machine-learning concepts, such as cross-validation and validation data sets
- Work with three diverse data sets, including a regression, a multinomial classification, and a binomial classification
- Use H2O to analyze each sample data set with four supervised machine-learning algorithms
- Understand how cluster analysis and other unsupervised machine-learning algorithms work

The book is crystal clear and extremely comprehensive, very easy to read, with examples you can reproduce easily (datasets are on line in a public Git repo).
It covers a very practical ground on the 4 main algorithms implemented in H2O cluster: RandomForest, GBM, GLM, and last but not least : deep learning...
"Practical" means explanations are strongly grounded on a set of 4 datasets , the author plays with, explaining both their preparation , analysis with H2O (code is both in R and PYTHON), and a great deal of time is spent on very useful considerations on how to 'tune' the various algorithms
to obtain better models, comparing their effectiveness.
All this in very clear style and explanations.
A must have for everyone interested in implementing ML features concretely.

The books is pretty naive. It may be good for salesmen and marketing people, but not for professionals.
TL;DR: If you know both Python and R and don't mind splitting work in both while following along, this is a good book. Otherwise, just stick to H2O's booklets and documentation (after learning ML in your language if you don't already).
