DESCRIPTION:
He assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner-the Master Algorithm-and discusses what it will mean for business, science, and society. In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, , and your smartphone. If data-ism is today's philosophy, this book is its bible.
"This book isn't perfect, but I'm still giving it 5 stars because" according to Karl Rosaen. This book isn't perfect, but I'm still giving it 5 stars because it provides a better overview of the entire field of Machine Learning than any other book I've come across. My background is in computer science and software engineering and I've been interested ML as more of a hobbyist and outside observer for a few years (reading some books, taking Andrew NG's coursera course), just recently dabbling in some applications professionally. What. Shankar Saikia said Awesome and Unique Comprehensive Yet Readable Overview of ML. AWESOME OVERVIEW OF ML IDEASI have read a few textbooks on machine learning (intro to Statistical Learning by Hastie etc) and so I would say that my knowledge of ML is at the "textbook overview" level. Since I am not a ML practitioner, I may not be the best judge of a book such as this one, it was a fairly difficult read, and I know I need to read the book a second time to get an even greater appreciation and understanding of the concepts c. Good overview of machine learning techniques for non-expert but overall a mixed book The Master Algorithm is a reasonable overview of the growing field of machine learning. The author explores the idea of there being a master algorithm which could explain everything given enough data. The idea seems a bit over the top when initially phrased but the real purpose of the book is to introduce ideas used in machine learning and how they work and are used to solve problems.The book is split into multiple chapters which start from
Pedro Domingos initiates you to the mysterious languages spoken by its five tribes, and invites you to join in his plan to unite them, creating the most powerful technology our civilization has ever seen."-Sebastian Seung, Professor, Princeton, and author of Connectome"A delightful book by one of the leading experts in the field. Machine learning is already critical to your life and work, and will only become more so. PRAISE FOR THE HARDCOVER:"An impressive and wide-ranging work that covers everything from the history
A fellow of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence, he lives near Seattle. He is a winner of the SIGKDD Innovation Award, the highest honor in data science. Pedro Domingos is a professor of computer science at the University of Washington.
