Machine Learning Salon books

The Books section is a collection of texts and website links that define and master a subject. It is free from advertising, the creator does not give a personal opinion on the subject, and no registration is needed to access the books.

The main idea is to offer other people a free fast track to master a concept by using the best resources available online, preferably academic resources. The salon has been processing seven books.

Basic machine learning algorithms

Starting points for supervised and unsupervised learning, with the key algorithms explained from first principles.

Artificial intelligence: deep learning

A draft track through neural networks, representation learning and modern deep architectures.

Bayesian inference

Probabilistic reasoning, graphical models and approximate inference.

Big data and cloud computing

Distributed storage and processing for data that does not fit on one machine.

Computer vision

Image understanding, recognition and visual inference.

Bioinformatics

Machine learning applied to biological sequences, structure and data.

Evolutionary computation

Optimisation and search inspired by biological evolution.

Many of the textbooks behind these tracks are gathered on the books and slides page, together with lecture slides and presentations.
