This book offers a practical approach for students with limited statistical knowledge to understand machine learning algorithms. Since the first edition was published, there have been significant developments in the field of machine learning, particularly concerning the statistical interpretation of these algorithms.
The second edition includes two new chapters on deep belief networks and Gaussian processes. It also reorganizes content for a more natural flow and revises material on support vector machines with an implementation provided for experimentation. Additional topics covered include random forests, perceptron convergence theorem, accuracy methods, conjugate gradient optimization for multi-layer perceptrons, Kalman filters, particle filters, and improved Python code.
The book is suitable as both an introductory one-semester course textbook and a more advanced study guide. It encourages students to practice with the provided examples and includes detailed problems in each chapter. All of the example code used throughout the text can be accessed on the authors website.
