Book Description

This book is a comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses probabilistic models and inference as a unifying approach.

The coverage combines breadth and depth, offering necessary background material on such topics as probability, optimization, and linear algebra as well as discussion of recent developments in the field, including conditional random fields, L1 regularization, and deep learning.

The book is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms. All topics are copiously illustrated with color images and worked examples drawn from such application domains as biology, text processing, computer vision, and robotics.

Rather than providing a cookbook of different heuristic methods, the book stresses a principled model-based approach, often using the language of graphical models to specify models in a concise and intuitive way.

Almost all the models described have been implemented in Python and is freely available online.

• Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics (Kevin Murphy)

  This book expands the scope of Machine Learning to encompass more challenging problems, discusses methods for discovering 'insights' about data, and how to use probabilistic models for causal inference and decision making under uncertainty.

• Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective (Kevin Murphy)

  This textbook offers a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning, based on a unified, probabilistic approach. It is written in an informal, accessible style, complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms.

• Distributional Reinforcement Learning (Marc G. Bellemare, et al)

  Distributional reinforcement learning is a new mathematical formalism for thinking about decisions. This first comprehensive guide provides a new mathematical formalism for thinking about decisions from a probabilistic perspective.

• An Introduction to Statistical Learning (Gareth James, et al)

  It provides an accessible overview of the field of Statistical Learning, an essential toolset for making sense of the vast and complex data sets that have emerged in fields ranging from biology to finance to marketing to astrophysics in the past twenty years.

• Probabilistic Machine Learning for Civil Engineers

  This comprehensive textbook presents basic machine learning methods for civil engineers who do not have a specialized background in statistics or in computer science. It includes several case studies that students and professionals will appreciate.

• Bayesian Methods for Hackers: Probabilistic Programming

  This book illuminates Bayesian inference through probabilistic programming with the powerful PyMC language and the closely related Python tools NumPy, SciPy, Matplotlib, through practical examples and computation - no advanced mathematics required.

• Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning (Christopher Bishop)

  This is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible.

• Foundations of Machine Learning (Mehryar Mohri, et al)

  This book is a general introduction to machine learning. It covers fundamental modern topics in machine learning while providing the theoretical basis and conceptual tools needed for the discussion and justification of algorithms.
