Machine Learning

This book is a great starting point for machine learning. It's not directed towards application, it's more theory driven. If you're uncomfortable with symbolic logic you will struggle with this book. If you don't know symbolic logic I'd suggest a textbook in discrete mathematics before diving into this book. It would also help to know some linear algebra or set theory. If you have at least a Bachelors in Mathematics you'll be able to follow this book easily. That said, this book will help you become a producer of machine learning rather than a consumer of some out-of-the-box ML package.

El libro es un excelente material para comprender las bases del aprendizaje automático, muy recomendable el autor y sin duda un excelente libro de consulta para todos aquellos que se inician en el estudio del aprendizaje automático.Se narra en un estilo muy casual(sin perder formalidad), con una buena cantidad de ejemplos. El libro es un poco viejo pero ayuda a entender las bases de los desarrollos modernos.

Indian version but what matters more is the content.

Met all expectations like previously advised...

Beware, the quality of the paper is as low as it gets. It is extremely thin, and on one side you see the text that is printed on the other side of the paper.Apparently, this print is for Indian market (at least that is what is says on the book).

The packaging was bad, there's crease at the bottom of the book. Book content though is good. I guess that is what I have paid for.

This review is about the International Edition being sold here. It is Indian Edition, and illegal to be sold in US. Very cheap material. It should be sold as INDIAN EDITION and not as International Edition.

First of all, the packaging was bad, which got creases in the book edges. Second, the paper quality is bad. Doesn't look like a genuine product.

Good book, I am happy with my purchase. Overall condition is excellent!

This was my first machine learning text book after Andrew Ng course .the book provides good introductory machine learning algorithm along with proof like gradient descent, maximum likelihood principle which I found very useful along with pseudo code .definitely recommended to kick-start your journey as it is short book with less math and more intuition behind the algorithm which is very useful to get a foundation for further study.

The only down side to this book is the print size otherwise it is very detailed.

Book arrived in good condition.

Everything was as the description mentioned.PS.: There are some pages with letters missing, like the printer had a dried toner.
