The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World
Autor Pedro Domingos Mel Fosteren Limba Engleză CD-Audio – 21 sep 2015
Under the aegis of machine learning in our data-driven machine age, computers are programming themselves and learning about and solving an extraordinary range of problems, from the mundane to the most daunting. Today it is machine learning programs that enable Amazon and Netflix to predict what users will like, Apple to power Siri s ability to understand voices, and Google to pilot cars. These programs are already helping us fight the war on cancer and predict the movements of the stock market, and they are making great headway with instant language translation and discovering new laws of nature.
But machine learning is incomplete, and its practitioners across the globe are seeking the most powerful algorithm of all. "The Master Algorithm" will not be limited to solving particular problems but will be able to learn anything and solve any problem, however difficult, and Pedro Domingos, a trailblazing computer scientist, is at the very forefront of the search for it. With the Master Algorithm in hand and data as its fuel, machine learning essentially the automation of discovery, a kind of scientific method on steroids will become the most powerful technology humanity has ever devised. And "The Master Algorithm" will be its bible.

Recenzii
"An impressive and wide-ranging work that covers everything from the history ofmachine learning to the latest technical advances in the field."—Daily Beast
"Domingos writes withverve and passion."—New Scientist
"Unlike other books that proclaim a bright future, this one actually gves you what you need to understand the changes that are coming."—Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google and coauthor ofArtificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
"Domingos is the perfect tour guide from whom you will learn everythingyou need to know about this exciting field, and a surprising amount about sience and philosophy as well."—Duncan Watts, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research, and author ofSix DegreesandEverything Is Obvious *Once You Know the Answer
"[The Master Algorithm] does a good job of examining the field's five main techniques.... The subject is meaty and the author...has a knack for introducing concepts at the right moment."—The Economist
"Domingos is a genial and amusing guide, who sneaks us around the backstage areas of the science in order to witness the sometimes personal (and occasionally acrimonious) tenor of research on the subject in recent decades."—Times Higher Education
"An exhilarating venture into groundbreaking computer science." —Booklist, starred review
"[An] enthusiastic but not dumbed-down introduction to machine learning...lucid and consistently informative.... With wit, vision, and scholarship, Domingos decribes how these scientists are creating programs that allow a computer to teach itself. Readers...will discover fascinating insights."
—Kirkus Reviews
"This book is a must have to learn machine learning without equation. It will help you get the big picture of the several learning paradigms. Finally, the provocative idea is not only intriguing, but also very well argued."—Data Mining Research
"If you are interested in a crash course on the enigmatic field ofmachine learning and the challenges for AI practitioners that lie ahead, this book is a great read."—TechCast Global
"This book is a sheer pleasure, mixed with education. I am recommending it to all my students, those who studied machine learning, those who are about to do it and those who are about to teach it."—Judea Pearl, professor of computer science, UCLA and winner of the A. M. Turing Award
"Machine learning is the single most transformative technology that will shape our lives over the next fifteen years. This book is a must-read--a bold and beautifully written new framework for looking into the future."—Geoffrey Moore, author ofCrossing the Chasm
"Machine learning is a fascinating world never before glimpsed by outsiders. Pedro Domingos initiates you to the mysterious languages spoken by its five tribes, and invites you tojoin in his plan to unite them, creating the most powerful technology our civilization has ever seen."—Sebastian Seung, professor, Princeton, and author ofConnectome
"A delightful book by one of the leading experts in the field. If you wonder how AI will change your life, read this book."—Sebastian Thrun, research professor, Stanford, Google Fellow and Inventor of the Self-Driving Car
"This is an incredibly important and useful book. Machine learning isalready critical to your life and work, and will only become more so. Finally, Pedro Domingos has written about it in a clear and understandable fashion."—Thomas H. Davenport, Distinguished Professor, Babson College and author ofCompeting on AnalyticsandBig Data @ Workspan
"Machine learning, known in commercial use as predictive analytics, is changing the world. This riveting, far-reaching, and inspiring book introduces the deep scientific concepts to even non-technical readers, and yet also satisfies experts with a fresh, profound perspective that reveals the most promising research directions. It's a rare gem indeed."—Eric Siegel, founder of Predictive Analytics World and author ofPredictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die
