Students in my Stanford courses on machine learning have already made several useful suggestions, as have my colleague, Pat Langley, and my teaching assistants, Ron Kohavi, Karl P eger, Robert Allen, …

The purpose of this chapter is to provide the reader with an overview over the vast range of applications which have at their heart a machine learning problem and to bring some degree of order to the zoo of …

Chapter 13, which presents sampling methods and an introduction to the theory of Markov chains, starts a series of chapters on generative models, and associated learning algorithms.

This book is for current and aspiring machine learning practitioners looking to implement solutions to real-world machine learning problems. This is an introduc‐tory book requiring no previous knowledge …

The issue of overfitting versus underfitting is of central importance in machine learning in general, and will be more formally addressed while discussing varioius regression and classification algorithms in …

This course provides a broad introduction to machine learning paradigms including supervised, unsupervised, deep learning, and reinforcement learning as a foun- dation for further study or …

Machine learning (ML) is a branch of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on building systems that can learn from data and improve their performance over time without being explicitly programmed.

The three broad categories of machine learning are summarized in Figure 3: (1) super-vised learning, (2) unsupervised learning, and (3) reinforcement learning. Note that in this class, we will primarily …
