Machine learning is not new, but it and its sub-discipline, deep learning, are now being used extensively for many applications in artificial intelligence (AI). There are hundreds of academic and practical coding books about machine learning.

This final chapter introduces machine learning and neural networks primarily through the scikit-learn sklearn module. Consider this a jumping-off point where you can use the Python features you’ve learned in this book to go more deeply into these essential AI areas if they interest you.
