Bootstrapping Machine Learning: An Upcoming Book on Prediction APIs

Last Updated on June 7, 2016

I came across an upcoming book that might interest you.

It is titled Bootstrapping Machine Learning by Louis Dorard, PhD. A 40-page sample is provided and I enjoyed it. I think the final book will be a valuable read.

Louis takes the position that machine learning is commoditized to the point where if you are an application developer, you don’t need to learn machine learn ing algorithms, you only need to learn machine learning APIs.

Nowadays, anyone is in a position to exploit the power of Machine Learning algorithms with minimal coding experience and with the use of Prediction APIs

I like this approach and I advocate it for non-programmers. It is a sign of the maturing of the field that we can start to clearly differentiate the machine learning researcher from the machine learning practitioner and even the application developer. If you are a programmer you create applications, you don’t need to concern yourself with the
