Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques to Build Intelligent Systems
Paperback – Illustrated, 15 October 2019
Aurélien Géron is a machine learning consultant and trainer. A former Googler, he led YouTube's video classification team from 2013 to 2016. He was also a founder and CTO of Wifirst (a leading Wireless ISP in France) from 2002 to 2012, and a founder and CTO of two consulting firms -- Polyconseil (telecom, media and strategy) and Kiwisoft (machine learning and data privacy).
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.
This has to be one of the best hands-on machine learning books out there. If you have the 1st edition and thought it was good, I can highly recommend the 2nd. It is in full colour, has expanded content and most importantly has been updated for Tensorflow 2 and Keras (Tensorflow's preferred high level API). The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars and I have never given a book a 5 star review, is I thought it was lacking some practical detail around object detection and localisation, semantic segmentation and dealing with large datasets that don't fit into memory, those subjects are covered but not in a lot of detail and without code examples.
Book was well packced. This book has coloured images. It has codes to try on as well. Well instructed in a way such that even a beginner can follow. However my opinion is it is better to have a bit of python background before reading the book. I just finished only two chapters, I believe the rest of the chapters will also be good. Author explains theory and background in a very nice interesting manner. Love this book!
5.0 out of 5 starsSingle handedly one of the best ML books on the market

If you have the budget to only buy one ML book, I would suggest going for this one. It covers most of the field in one book. Get a datacamo subscription too and you can break into the DS career.
I'm currently on a course learning Machine Learning and family and this book was recommended (well earlier revision), but it explains things well with good examples.
I ordered on Kindle as much prefer reading that way

This book was just released, and I'm only a few chapters into it, but I can already attest that it's an excellent approach to the topic. It reads like the book I would have written (or perhaps would have liked to have written) if I were to pen a volume on artificial intelligence. It's a long-overdue addition to the subject, and I'm thrilled to see it executed so well.
It’s a colored book. Very well written with self-containing chapters, so you could either read from cover to cover or jump to the chapters most useful for you. Great for a wide knowledge range, either you don‘t know much about machine learning yet - this book would be a good starting point, or if you look for customize layers in neural networks, this book also talks about how to do that with subclassing Keras layers. It also mentions relevant papers for further reading.
5.0 out of 5 starsVery good book on machine learning and deep learning

Good book about the machine learning and deep learning. with pratical codes using sklearn, tf2.0. but it is not easy to form a complete solution just from this book. It is worthy read a few times on some chapters to understand better. wonder any alternatives or complementary books...
