A comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses
probabilistic models and inference as a unifying approach. Today's
Web-enabled deluge of electronic data calls for automated methods
of data analysis. Machine learning provides these, developing
methods that can automatically detect patterns in data and then use
the uncovered patterns to predict future data. This textbook offers
a comprehensive and self-contained introduction to the field of
machine learning, based on a unified, probabilistic approach. The
coverage combines breadth and depth, offering necessary background
material on such topics as probability, optimization, and linear
algebra as well as discussion of recent developments in the field,
including conditional random fields, L1 regularization, and deep
learning. The book is written in an informal, accessible style,
complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms. All
topics are copiously illustrated with color images and worked
examples drawn from such application domains as biology, text
processing, computer vision, and robotics. Rather than providing a
cookbook of different heuristic methods, the book stresses a
principled model-based approach, often using the language of
graphical models to specify models in a concise and intuitive way.
Almost all the models described have been implemented in a MATLAB
software package-PMTK (probabilistic modeling toolkit)-that is
freely available online. The book is suitable for upper-level
undergraduates with an introductory-level college math background
and beginning graduate students.
