This edition moves the deep learning half from TensorFlow and Keras to PyTorch and the Hugging Face ecosystem, which is where most current research and industry code lives. It keeps the same structure: an end-to-end project early, then classification, training models, SVMs, trees and ensembles, dimensionality reduction and unsupervised learning, followed by neural networks, computer vision, sequence models, transformers, generative models and reinforcement learning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat's included\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and PyTorch: Concepts, Tools, and Techniques to Build Intelligent Systems, 1st Edition\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAuthor: Aurélien Géron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePaperback, published by O’Reilly Media\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eISBN-13 9798341607989\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCovers overfitting, hyperparameter tuning, clustering, anomaly detection, transformers, diffusion models, pretrained LLMs and RL agents\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCode examples in Python with Scikit-Learn, PyTorch and Hugging Face\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWho it's for\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSoftware developers moving into machine learning, data analysts who want to go beyond notebooks, computer science students in an applied ML course, and professionals who learned the TensorFlow edition and need to retool for PyTorch and modern LLM workflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy this edition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the PyTorch edition, not a reprint of the TensorFlow book. If your team, course or target employer uses PyTorch and Hugging Face, this is the matching text. The project-first approach means you have a working pipeline by chapter two and understand why each later technique exists. It is long, but it is meant to be worked through, not read.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow is this different from Géron’s TensorFlow edition?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep learning chapters are rewritten for PyTorch and Hugging Face, with new material on transformers, diffusion models, LLM fine-tuning and agents.
