Many industry experts consider unsupervised learning the next frontier in artificial intelligence, one that may hold the key to general artificial intelligence. Since the majority of the world's data is unlabeled, conventional supervised learning cannot be applied. Unsupervised learning, on the other hand, can be applied to unlabeled datasets to discover meaningful patterns buried deep in the data, patterns that may be near impossible for humans to uncover. Author Ankur Patel shows you how to apply unsupervised learning using two simple, production-ready Python frameworks: Scikit-learn and TensorFlow using Keras. With code and hands-on examples, data scientists will identify difficult-to-find patterns in data and gain deeper business insight, detect anomalies, perform automatic feature engineering and selection, and generate synthetic datasets. All you need is programming and some machine learning experience to get started. Compare the strengths and weaknesses of the different machine learning approaches: supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning Set up and manage machine learning projects end-to-end Build an anomaly detection system to catch credit card fraud Clusters users into distinct and homogeneous groups Perform semisupervised learning Develop movie recommender systems using restricted Boltzmann machines Generate synthetic images using generative adversarial networks

What makes a good doctor? How will you contribute to our university? Why medicine? What did you learn from your work experience? The ability to provide compelling answers in the medicine interview to questions like these is the difference between being offered a place and being rejected. The Medicine Interview book is an up-to-date (for 2013-2014 applicants) review of the most common questions, with full answers and pointers on what the interviewers are looking for. This book contains over 300 pages of questions, with points to get across and full examples on answering the questions. Example questions: What makes you a good doctor? To answer this question, you need to know what qualities are necessary for a doctor to have. Most medical schools have a list of qualities they expect doctors, and therefore medical students to have. This can usually be found on their school of medicine website or in the prospectus so it is worth having a look through that list. When answering personality-based questions such as this, rather than just listing qualities, pick two or three and provide evidence that you possess these skills. "First and foremost I believe I would be a good doctor because I have a strong interest in both science and people. I have had an interest in science early on at school, and it was this interest that lead to me studying Chemistry and Biology at A level. During Human Biology lessons I found I always wanted to know the reason why things went wrong in the body during disease, and it was this questioning that really fired my interest in the human body. Since I have been old enough to have a job, I have always had a job which involved lots of interaction with the public, especially children. Through both paid and volunteer work I have worked with people of all ages, through my work at a Care home, a nursery nurse assistant, a math's and science tutor, as a waitress and a retail assistant. The aspect I always enjoyed the most was talking to people. I feel my passion for people and for science, twinned with my good communication skills, provide a excellent foundation, which if built upon appropriately would make me a good doctor."
