Gadget Book: Questions and Answers on Machine Learning and AI

You know two hot topics at the moment? Machine Learning (ML) and AI. Of course they are, so great timing to feature a new Gadget Book dedicated to both of them.

It’s called 30 Essential Questions and Answers on Machine Learning and AI, and looks to answer – concisely – some of the key questions around these areas.

The publishers write:

“If you’re ready to venture beyond introductory concepts and dig deeper into ML, deep learning, and AI, the question-and-answer format of Machine Learning Q and AI will make things fast and easy for you, without a lot of mucking about.

Born out of questions often fielded by author Sebastian Raschka, the direct, no-nonsense approach of this book makes advanced topics more accessible and genuinely engaging. Each brief, self-contained chapter journeys through a fundamental question in AI, unraveling it with clear explanations, diagrams, and hands-on exercises.”
