INTRODUCTION TO MACHINE LEARNING, THIRD EDITION By ALPAYDIN, ETHEM Price: Rs. 625.00 ISBN: 978‐81‐203‐5078‐6 Pages: 640 Binding: Hard Bound Buy Now at www.phindia.com DESCRIPTION Introduc on to Machine Learning is a comprehensive textbook on the subject, covering a broad array of topics not usually included in introductory machine learning texts. Subjects include supervised learning; Bayesian decision theory; parametric, semiparametric, and nonparametric methods; mul variate analysis; hidden Markov models; reinforcement learning; kernel machines; graphical models; Bayesian es ma on; and sta s cal tes ng. Machine learning is rapidly becoming a skill that computer science students must master before gradua on. This new edi on of the book reflects this shi , with added support for beginners, including selected solu ons for exercises and addi onal example data sets (with code available online). Other substan al changes include discussions of outlier detec on; ranking algorithms for perceptors and support vector machines; matrix decomposi on and spectral methods; distance es ma on; new kernel algorithms; deep learning in mul layered perceptrons; and the nonparametric approach to Bayesian methods. All learning algorithms are explained so that students can easily move from the equa ons in the book to a computer program. The book can be used by both advanced undergraduate and postgraduate students. It will also be of interest to professionals who are concerned with the applica on of machine learning methods. “Ethem Alpaydin's Introduc on to Machine Learning provides a nice blending of the topical coverage of machine learning (à la Tom Mitchell) with formal probabilis c founda ons (à la Christopher Bishop). This newly updated version now introduces some of the most recent and important topics in machine learning (e.g., spectral methods, deep learning, and learning to rank) to students and researchers of this cri cally important and expanding field.” —John W. Sheppard, Professor of Computer Science, Montana State University “This volume is both a complete and accessible introduc on to the machine learning world. This is a 'Swiss Army knife' book for this rapidly evolving subject. Although intended as an introduc on, it will be useful not only for students but for any professional looking for a comprehensive book in this field. Newcomers will find clearly explained concepts and experts will find a source for new references and ideas.” —Hilario Gómez‐Moreno, IEEE Senior Member, University of Alcalá, Spain
