Abstract

Ethem Alpaydın’s “Introduction to Machine Learning” is a formative work that offers a broad view of the field of machine learning. It is far from being a mere technical manual. The book is a mindful description of how machines learn from data, why learning matters, and how various learning systems can be designed and evaluated using machine learning. It is written for advanced undergraduates and graduate students and assumes familiarity with mathematical foundations; however, it is insightful and provides intelligibility to the readers.
