Understanding Machine Learning - From Theory to Algorithms

Understanding Machine Learning
From Theory to Algorithms
Machine learning is one of the fastest growing areas of computer science, with far-reaching applications. The aim of this textbook is to introduce machine learning, and the algorithmic paradigms it offers, in a principled way. The book provides a theoretical account of the fundamentals underlying machine learning and the mathematical derivations that transform these principles into practical algorithms...

Designed for advanced undergraduates or beginning graduates, the text makes the fundamentals and algorithms of machine learning accessible to students and non-expert readers in statistics, computer science, mathematics and engineering.
  • Provides a principled development of the most important machine learning tools
  • Describes a wide range of state-of-the-art algorithms
  • Promotes understanding of when machine learning is relevant, what the prerequisites for a successful application of ML algorithms are, and which algorithms to use for any given task

Mathematics for Machine Learning 

Mathematics for Machine Learning
The fundamental mathematical tools needed to understand machine learning include linear algebra, analytic geometry, matrix decompositions, vector calculus, optimization, probability and statistics. These topics are traditionally taught in disparate courses, making it hard for data science or computer science students, or professionals, to efficiently learn the mathematics... 

For those learning the mathematics for the first time, the methods help build intuition and practical experience with applying mathematical concepts. Every chapter includes worked examples and exercises to test understanding. Programming tutorials are offered on the book's web site.
  • A one-stop presentation of all the mathematical background needed for machine learning
  • Worked examples make it easier to understand the theory and build both practical experience and intuition
  • Explains central machine learning methods: linear regression, principal component analysis, Gaussian mixture models and support vector machines
