Where to Learn More<br />

about <strong>Machine</strong> <strong>Learning</strong><br />

We are at the end of our book and now take a moment to look at what else is out<br />

there that could be useful for our readers.<br />

There are many wonderful resources out there to learn more about machine learning<br />

(way too much to cover them all here). Our list can therefore represent only a small<br />

and very biased sampling of the resources we think are best at the time of writing.<br />

Online courses<br />

Andrew Ng is a Professor at Stanford who runs an online course in machine learning<br />

as a massive open online course (MOOC) at Coursera (http://www.coursera.<br />

org). It is free of charge, but may represent a significant investment of time and effort<br />

(return on investment guaranteed!).<br />

Books<br />

This book focused on the practical side of machine learning. We did not present<br />

the thinking behind the algorithms or the theory that justifies them. If you<br />

are interested in that aspect of machine learning, then we recommend Pattern<br />

Recognition and <strong>Machine</strong> <strong>Learning</strong>, C. Bishop , Springer Apply Italics to this. This is<br />

a classical introductory text in the field. It will teach you the nitty-gritties of most<br />

of the algorithms we used in this book.
