By: Domingos, Pedro.
Publisher: New York : Basic Books, a member of the Perseus Books Group, ©2015Description: xxi, 329 pages : illustrations ; 25 cm.Content type: text Media type: unmediated Carrier type: volumeISBN: 9780465094271.Subject(s): Knowledge representation (Information theory) | Artificial intelligence -- Social aspects | Artificial intelligence -- Philosophy | Cognitive science -- Mathematics | AlgorithmsGenre/Form: Print books.
Contents:
The machine learning revolution -- The master algorithm -- Hume's problem of induction -- How does your brain learn? -- Evolution : nature's learning algorithm -- In the church of the Reverend Bayes -- You are what you resemble -- Learning without a teacher -- The pieces of the puzzle fall into place -- This is the world on machine learning.
Summary: "Describes the quest to find the Master Algorithm, which will take machine learning to the next level, allowing computers to learn how to solve not just particular problems but any problem, "--Novelist.Summary: Algorithms increasingly run our lives. They work by learning from the trails of data we leave in our newly digital world; they observe us, imitate, and experiment. And in the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask. Domingos gives us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone, and discusses what it means for you, and for the future of business, science, and society.
