Machine Learning Notebooks
==========================
This project aims at teaching you the fundamentals of Machine Learning in
python. It contains the example code and solutions to the exercises in my O'Reilly book [Hands-on Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920052289.do):
[![book](http://akamaicovers.oreilly.com/images/0636920052289/rc_cat.gif)](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920052289.do)
Simply open the [Jupyter](http://jupyter.org/) notebooks you are interested in:
* Using [jupyter.org's notebook viewer](http://nbviewer.jupyter.org/github/ageron/handson-ml/blob/master/index.ipynb)
* note: [github.com's notebook viewer](https://github.com/ageron/handson-ml/blob/master/index.ipynb) also works but it is slower and the math formulas are not displayed correctly
* or by cloning this repository and running Jupyter locally
* if you prefer this option, follow the installation instructions below.
# Installation
Obviously, you will need [git](https://git-scm.com/) and [python](https://www.python.org/downloads/) (python 3 is recommended, but python 2 should work as well).
First, clone this repository:
$ cd {your development directory}
$ git clone https://github.com/ageron/handson-ml.git
$ cd handson-ml
If you want an isolated environment (recommended), you can use [virtualenv](https://virtualenv.readthedocs.org/en/latest/):
$ virtualenv env
$ source ./env/bin/activate
If you want to go through chapter 16 on Reinforcement Learning, you will need to [install OpenAI gym](https://gym.openai.com/docs) and its dependencies for Atari simulations.
Then make sure pip is up to date, and use it to install the required python packages:
$ pip install --upgrade pip
$ pip install --upgrade -r requirements.txt
If you prefer to use [Anaconda](https://www.continuum.io/), you can run the following commands instead:
$ conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow=1.0.0
$ conda install -c conda-forge jupyter_contrib_nbextensions
If you want to install the Jupyter extensions, run the following command:
$ jupyter contrib nbextension install --user
Then you can activate an extension, such as the Table of Contents (2) extension:
$ jupyter nbextension enable toc2/main
Finally, launch Jupyter:
$ jupyter notebook
This should start the Jupyter server locally, and open your browser. If your browser does not open automatically, visit [localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888/tree). Click on `index.ipynb` to get started. You can visit [http://localhost:8888/nbextensions](http://localhost:8888/nbextensions) to activate and configure Jupyter extensions.
That's it! Have fun learning ML.
