Kevin Murphy Boeken

Mr. Murphy, known to legions of fans as Tom Servo on the legendary TV series Mystery Science Theater 3000, went to the movies every day for a year. That's every single day, people. For a whole fricken' year. And not only did he endure, he prevailed -- for this is the hilarious, poignant, fascinating journal of his the first book about the movies from the audience's point of view. Kevin went to the multiplex, sure. But he didn't stop there. He found the world's smallest commercial movie theater. Another one made completely of ice.

Took six different women to the same date movie. Dressed up as a nun for the Sing-Along Sound of Music in London. Sneaked into the Cannes and Sundance film festivals. Smuggled an entire Thanksgiving dinner into a movie theater. And saw hundreds of films, from the Arctic Circle to the Equator, from the sublime to the unspeakable. Come along on a joyous global celebration of the cinema with a man on a mission -- to spend A Year at the Movies.

This comprehensive introduction to machine learning employs probabilistic models and inference as a unifying framework. The explosion of electronic data on the Web necessitates automated data analysis methods, and machine learning addresses this by developing techniques to automatically identify patterns and predict future data. The textbook presents a self-contained overview of the field, integrating essential background topics such as probability, optimization, and linear algebra, while also covering recent advancements like conditional random fields, L1 regularization, and deep learning. Written in an informal and accessible style, it includes pseudo-code for key algorithms, along with numerous color illustrations and worked examples from diverse fields like biology, text processing, computer vision, and robotics. Instead of merely presenting a variety of heuristic methods, the book emphasizes a principled model-based approach, often utilizing graphical models for clear and concise specification. Most models discussed are implemented in the freely available MATLAB software package, PMTK (probabilistic modeling toolkit). This resource is ideal for upper-level undergraduates with a basic college math background and beginning graduate students.
