handson-ml

handson-ml hosts the notebooks for the first edition of the same hands-on ML book, reflecting the tooling and idioms of its time while teaching durable concepts. It walks through supervised and unsupervised learning with scikit-learn, then introduces deep learning using the earlier TensorFlow 1 graph-execution style. The examples underscore fundamentals like bias-variance trade-offs, regularization, and proper validation, grounding learners before they move to deep nets. Even though the deep learning stack evolved, the classical ML sections remain highly relevant for production data problems. The code is crafted to be clear rather than clever, prioritizing readability for newcomers. As a historical snapshot and a still-useful primer, it pairs well with the second edition for understanding how the ecosystem matured.
