Monetizing Machine Learning

Take your Python machine learning ideas and create serverless web applications accessible by anyone with an Internet connection. Some of the most popular serverless cloud providers are covered in this book—Amazon, Microsoft, Google, and PythonAnywhere. You will work through a series of common Python data science problems in an increasing order of complexity. The practical projects presented in this book are simple, clear, and can be used as templates to jump-start many other types of projects. You will learn to create a web application around numerical or categorical predictions, understand the analysis of text, create powerful and interactive presentations, serve restricted access to data, and leverage web plugins to accept credit card payments and donations. You will get your projects into the hands of the world in no time. Each chapter follows three steps: modeling the right way, designing and developing a local web application, and deploying onto a popular and reliable serverless cloud provider. You can easily jump to or skip particular topics in the book. You also will have access to Jupyter notebooks and code repositories for complete versions of the code covered in the book. What You’ll LearnExtend your machine learning models using simple techniques to create compelling and interactive web dashboardsLeverage the Flask web framework for rapid prototyping of your Python models and ideasCreate dynamic content powered by regression coefficients, logistic regressions, gradient boosting machines, Bayesian classifications, and moreHarness the power of TensorFlow by exporting saved models into web applicationsCreate rich web dashboards to handle complex real-time user input with JavaScript and Ajax to yield interactive and tailored contentCreate dashboards with paywalls to offer subscription-based accessAccess API data such as Google Maps,OpenWeather, etc. Apply different approaches to make sense of text data and return customized intelligenceBuild an intuitive and useful recommendation site to add value to users and entice them to keep coming backUtilize the freemium offerings of Google Analytics and analyze the resultsTake your ideas all the way to your customer's plate using the top serverless cloud providersWho This Book Is ForThose with some programming experience with Python, code editing, and access to an interpreter in working order. The book is geared toward entrepreneurs who want to get their ideas onto the web without breaking the bank, small companies without an IT staff, students wanting exposure and training, and for all data science professionals ready to take things to the next level.
