In Robotic Process Automation Succinctly, author Ed Freitas will show readers how to use nonproprietary and open-source software to write RPA scripts using Python and some RPA techniques to automate some common and repetitive business tasks. …

In Neural Networks with JavaScript Succinctly, Author James McCaffrey leads you through the fundamental concepts of neural networks, including their architecture, input-output, tanh and softmax activation, back-propagation, error and accuracy, normalization and encoding, and model interpretation. …

Much of the data available today is unstructured and text-heavy, making it challenging for analysts to apply their usual data wrangling and visualization tools. With this practical book Text Mining with R, you’ll explore text-mining techniques with tidytext, a package that authors Julia Silge and David Robinson developed using the tidy principles behind R packages like ggraph and dplyr. You’ll learn how tidytext and other tidy tools in R can make text analysis easier and more effective. …

Neural networks are a powerful tool for developers, but harnessing them can be a challenge. With Keras Succinctly, author James McCaffrey introduces Keras, an open-source, neural network library designed specifically to make working with backend neural network tools easier. …

The purpose of this free online book, Neural Networks and Deep Learning is to help you master the core concepts of neural networks, including modern techniques for deep learning. After working through the book you will have written code that uses neural networks and deep learning to solve complex pattern recognition problems.
