Machine Learning: Introducing Available Datasets with Python
About this ebook
tion and analysis of publicly available benchmark datasets. It presents a systematic treat
ment of data acquisition, inspection, preprocessing, and evaluation within supervised learning
frameworks.
Key topics include statistical characterization of datasets, data normalization, categorical
encoding, handling class imbalance, feature selection and extraction, dimensionality reduction,
and model evaluation metrics. Computational examples are provided using Python, with
implementations based on scikit-learn and PyTorch.
The text is intended for students and practitioners seeking a rigorous and practical foun
dation in data management for machine learning, with applications to both classification and
regression problems.
