Description for Understanding Machine Learning: From Theory to Algorithms
Hardback. Introduces machine learning and its algorithmic paradigms, explaining the principles behind automated learning approaches and the considerations underlying their usage. Num Pages: 409 pages, 47 b/w illus. 123 exercises. BIC Classification: UYQM. Category: (U) Tertiary Education (US: College). Dimension: 186 x 261 x 29. Weight in Grams: 912.
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. Following a presentation of the basics, the book covers a wide array of central topics unaddressed by previous textbooks. These include a discussion of the computational complexity of learning and the concepts of convexity and stability; important algorithmic paradigms including stochastic gradient ... Read more

Reviews for Understanding Machine Learning: From Theory to Algorithms
'This elegant book covers both rigorous theory and practical methods of machine learning. This makes it a rather unique resource, ideal for all those who want to understand how to find structure in data.' Bernhard Schölkopf, Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Germany 'This is a timely text on the mathematical foundations of machine learning, providing a treatment that is ... Read more
