It can be nice to have more examples of what a particular algorithm can be used for. I mean exercices without solution (yet). This is not useful for people that already know the field but help people that want to jump into the buzz feed. A chapter about Natural Language Processing/Understading would have been extra nice, but I'm not sure it's doable in this format. All the best!
