Build smart web applications that analyze and understand data through machine learning and statistics. With Programming Collective Intelligence, you can access datasets from other websites, collect data from your own applications, and draw conclusions about user experiences, marketing, and human behavior in general. This book covers collaborative filtering, clustering, search engine features, optimization algorithms, spam filtering, decision trees, support vector machines, and more using clear explanations and code examples. Don't settle for simple database applications – put the wealth of internet data to work for you.

This hands-on guide teaches you how to design, build, and deploy machine learning (ML) powered applications, from initial idea to deployed product. With code snippets, illustrations, and screenshots, you'll learn key ML concepts and tools for building real-world applications. This book is perfect for data scientists, software engineers, and product managers with little or no ML experience, who want to learn the process step-by-step. You'll discover how to plan and measure success, build a working ML model, improve performance, and deploy and monitor models in a production environment.
