Machine learning (ML) is a key branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on building intelligent applications. Data scientists learn from the varying complexity of data and improve the accuracy and performance over time without being programmed to do so. As per an Indeed report, the growth rate for machine learning jobs is about 344%, while automation remains the trending face of technology. With the increasing maturity and automation of ML algorithms and tools, AutoML and MLOps will continue to gain even more prominence, where we could expect ML Engineers to be in the highest demand in 2021. This post will look at the top 10 exciting books relating to new research and application areas in ML.
