Python Machine Learning code repository.
What you can expect are 400 pages rich in useful material just about everything you need to know to get started with machine learning ... from theory to the actual code that you can directly put into action! This is not yet just another "this is how scikit-learn works" book. I aim to explain all the underlying concepts, tell you everything you need to know in terms of best practices and caveats, and we will put those concepts into action mainly using NumPy, scikit-learn, and Theano.

I am happy to answer questions! Just write me an email or consider asking the question on the Google Groups Email List.
If you are interested in keeping in touch, I have quite a lively twitter stream (@rasbt) all about data science and machine learning. I also maintain a blog where I post all of the things I am particularly excited about.
Simply click on the ipynb/nbviewer links next to the chapter headlines to view the code examples (currently, the internal document links are only supported by the NbViewer version).
Please note that these are just the code examples accompanying the book, which I uploaded for your convenience; be aware that these notebooks may not be useful without the formulae and descriptive text.
