Practical Machine Learning for Streaming Data with Python : Design

Design, develop, and validate machine learning models with streaming data using the Scikit-Multiflow framework. This book is a quick start guide for data scientists and machine learning engineers looking to implement machine learning models for streaming data with Python to generate real-time insights.

Youll start with an introduction to streaming data, the various challenges associated with it, some of its real-world business applications, and various windowing techniques. Youll then examine incremental and online learning algorithms, and the concept of model evaluation with streaming data and get introduced to the Scikit-Multiflow framework in Python. This is followed by a review of the various change detection/concept drift detection algorithms and the implementation of various datasets using Scikit-Multiflow.

Introduction to the various supervised and unsupervised algorithms for streaming data, and their implementation on various datasets using Python are also covered. The book concludes by briefly covering other open-source tools available for streaming data such as Spark, MOA (Massive Online Analysis), Kafka, and more.
