Deep Learning

Ian Goodfellow Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville

The Deep Learning textbook is a resource intended to help students and practitioners enter the field of general machine learning and deep learning. The online version of the book is now complete and will remain available online for free.

Mathematics for Machine Learning

Marc Peter Deisenroth, A. Aldo Faisal, Cheng Soon Ong

The fundamental mathematical tools needed to understand machine learning include linear algebra, analytic geometry, matrix decompositions, vector calculus, optimization, probability, and statistics. These topics are traditionally taught in disparate courses, making it hard for data science or computer science students or professionals to learn mathematics efficiently. This self contained textbook bridges the gap between mathematical and machine learning texts, introducing the mathematical concepts with a minimum of prerequisites.

An Introduction to Statistical Learning

Gareth James, Daniela Witten, Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, Jonathan Taylor

An Introduction to Statistical Learning provides a broad and less technical treatment of key topics in statistical learning. This book is appropriate for anyone who wishes to use contemporary tools for data analysis.

The Elements of Statistical Learning

Jerome H. Friedman, Robert Tibshirani, and Trevor Hastie

This book describes the important ideas in a variety of fields, such as medicine, biology, finance, and marketing, in a common conceptual framework. While the approach is statistical, the emphasis is on concepts rather than mathematics. Many examples are given, with liberal use of color graphics.

Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction

Probabilistic Machine Learning: Advanced Topics

Kevin Patrick Murphy

An advanced counterpart to Probabilistic Machine Learning: An Introduction, this high-level textbook provides researchers and graduate students detailed coverage of cutting-edge topics in machine learning, including deep generative modeling, graphical models, Bayesian inference, reinforcement learning, and causality.

Understanding Machine Learning: From Theory to Algorithms

Shai Shalev-Shwartz and Shai Ben-David

The aim of this textbook is to introduce machine learning and the algorithmic paradigms it offers in a principled way. The book provides an extensive theoretical account of the fundamental ideas underlying machine learning and the mathematical derivations that transform these principles into practical algorithms.

Automated Machine Learning: Methods, Systems, Challenges

Frank Hutter • Lars Kotthoff • Joaquin Vanschoren

This open-access book presents the first comprehensive overview of general methods in Automated Machine Learning (AutoML), collects descriptions of existing systems based on these methods, and discusses the first series of international challenges of AutoML systems.

Applied Causal Inference

This book is designed to help anyone along the spectrum of experience with causal inference – nearly everyone, from absolute beginners to experienced users of causality, will be able to learn something about the world of causal inference and how it can be applied.

Reinforcement Learning: An Introduction

Richard S. Sutton and Andrew G. Barto

In Reinforcement Learning, Richard Sutton and Andrew Barto provide a clear and simple account of the field's key ideas and algorithms. This second edition has been significantly expanded and updated, presenting new topics and updating coverage of other topics.

The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book

Andriy Burkov

Burkov has undertaken a very useful but impossibly hard task in reducing all of machine learning to 100 pages. He succeeds well in choosing the topics — both theory and practice — that will be useful to practitioners, and for the reader who understands that this is the first 100 (or actually 150) pages you will read, not the last, provides a solid introduction to the field.

Machine Learning Engineering

Andriy Burkov

This new book by Andriy Burkov is the most complete applied AI book out there. It is filled with best practices and design patterns for building reliable machine learning solutions that scale.

Natural Language Processing with Python

Steven Bird, Ewan Klein, and Edward Loper

This book offers a highly accessible introduction to natural language processing, the field that supports a variety of language technologies, from predictive text and email filtering to automatic summarization and translation.

Dive into Deep Learning

Aston Zhang, Zachary C. Lipton, Mu Li, Alexander J. Smola

This book is a comprehensive resource that makes deep learning approachable while still providing sufficient technical depth to enable engineers, scientists, and students to use deep learning in their own work.

Machine Learning Yearning

Andrew NG

The book has been divided into 13 parts originally by Prof. Andrew NG, along with the complete book with all the parts consolidated. In this book, you will learn how to align on ML strategies in a team setting, as well as how to set up development (dev) sets and test sets.

Machine Learning for Humans

Vishal Maini, Samer Sabri

This guide is intended to be accessible to anyone. Basic concepts in probability, statistics, programming, linear algebra, and calculus will be discussed, but it isn’t necessary to have prior knowledge of them to gain value from this series.

Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning

Christopher M. Bishop

This is the first textbook on pattern recognition to present the Bayesian viewpoint. The book presents approximate inference algorithms that permit fast approximate answers in situations where exact answers are not feasible. It uses graphical models to describe probability distributions when no other books apply graphical models to machine learning.

Deep Learning on Graphs

Yao Ma and Jiliang Tang

This book covers comprehensive content on developing deep learning techniques for graph-structured data with a specific focus on Graph Neural Networks (GNNs). The foundation of the GNN models is introduced in detail, including the two main building operations: graph filtering and pooling operations.

Approaching (Almost) Any Machine Learning Problem

Abhishek Thakur

This book is for people who have some theoretical knowledge of machine learning and deep learning and want to dive into applied machine learning. The book doesn't explain the algorithms but is more oriented towards how and what should you use to solve machine learning and deep learning problems.

Feature Engineering and Selection: A Practical Approach for Predictive Models

Max Kuhn and Kjell Johnson

This book describes techniques for finding the best representations of predictors for modeling and for finding the best subset of predictors for improving model performance.

Hands-On Machine Learning with R

Bradley Boehmke & Brandon Greenwell

Hands-on Machine Learning with R provides a practical and applied approach to learning and developing intuition into today’s most popular machine learning methods. This book serves as a practitioner’s guide to the machine learning process and is meant to help the reader learn to apply the machine learning stack within R

An accessible introduction and essential reference for an approach to machine learning that creates highly accurate prediction rules by combining many weak and inaccurate ones.

A Brief Introduction to Machine Learning for Engineers

Osvaldo Simeone

This presents the problem of where the engineer should start. The answer is often "for a general, but slightly outdated introduction, read this book; for a detailed survey of methods based on probabilistic models, check this reference; to learn about statistical learning, this text is useful" and so on.
