Over 17 years & eight albums heavy metal band Machine Head have sold millions of units earned a Grammy nomination & won personal awards from Metal Hammer & other magazines The story is a classic rise fall & rise again scenario -- they exploded onto the metal scene in 1994 enjoyed a successful string of albums & then lost their way in the nu-metal era Now they are in the middle of one of metal's most acclaimed comebacks Joel Mc Iver has interviewed all the b&-members several times & has a unique insight into their rollercoaster story which

A comprehensive introduction to machine learning that uses probabilistic models & inference as a unifying approach Today's Web-enabled deluge of electronic data calls for automated methods of data analysis Machine learning provides these developing methods that can automatically detect patterns in data & then use the uncovered patterns to predict future data This textbook offers a comprehensive & self-contained introduction to the field of machine learning based on a unified probabilistic approach The coverage combines breadth & depth offering necessary background material on such topics as probability optimization & linear algebra as well as discussion of recent developments in the field including conditional random fields L1 regularization & deep learning The book is written in an informal accessible style complete with pseudo-code for the most important algorithms All topics are copiously illustrated with color images & worked examples drawn from such application domains as biology text processing computer vision & robotics Rather than providing a cookbook of different heuristic methods the book stresses a principled model-based approach often using the language of graphical models to specify models in a concise & intuitive way Almost all the models described have been implemented in a MATLAB software package -- PMTK (probabilistic modeling toolkit) -- that is freely available online The book is suitable for upper-level undergraduates with an introductory-level college math background & beginning graduate students ...

As one of the most comprehensive machine learning texts around this book does justice to the field's incredible richness but without losing sight of the unifying principles Peter Flach's clear example-based approach begins by discussing how a spam filter works which gives an immediate introduction to machine learning in action with a minimum of technical fuss Flach provides case studies of increasing complexity & variety with well-chosen examples & illustrations throughout He covers a wide range of logical geometric & statistical models & state-of-the-art topics such as matrix factorisation & ROC analysis Particular attention is paid to the central role played by features The use of established terminology is balanced with the introduction of new & useful concepts & summaries of relevant background material are provided with pointers for revision if necessary These features ensure Machine Learning will set a new standard as an introductory textbook ...

A Proven Hands-On Approach for Students without a Strong Statistical Foundation Since the best-selling first edition was published there have been several prominent developments in the field of machine learning including the increasing work on the statistical interpretations of machine learning algorithms Unfortunately computer science students without a strong statistical background often find it hard to get started in this area Remedying this deficiency Machine Learning An Algorithmic Perspective Second Edition helps students understand the algorithms of machine learning It puts them on a path toward mastering the relevant mathematics & statistics as well as the necessary programming & experimentation New to the Second Edition Two new chapters on deep belief networks & Gaussian processes Reorganization of the chapters to make a more natural flow of content Revision of the support vector machine material including a simple implementation for experiments New material on random forests the perceptron convergence theorem accuracy methods & conjugate gradient optimization for the multi-layer perceptron Additional discussions of the Kalman & particle filters Improved code including better use of naming conventions in Python Suitable for both an introductory one-semester course & more advanced courses the text strongly encourages students to practice with the code Each chapter
