Description

Machine Learning: A comprehensive introduction to algorithms that make sense of data. This textbook provides a clear and example-based approach to understanding machine learning, starting with a discussion of how a spam filter works.

Through case studies of increasing complexity, Peter Flach covers a wide range of logical, geometric and statistical models, as well as state-of-the-art topics such as matrix factorisation and ROC analysis. The central role played by features is also explored in detail.

The book balances established terminology with the introduction of new concepts, providing summaries of relevant background material to support revision if needed. With its clear and concise approach, Machine Learning sets a new standard for introductory machine learning texts.
