Why read it?

1 author picked Machine Learning as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Peter Flach’s book on machine learning had a profound impact on me. The book is simple to understand, and highly visual. But beyond that Peter himself is a lovely person who obviously cares about all his students. I believe for getting started in machine learning and wanting to understand the algorithms that power many models, this is a great place to start.

But most importantly it’s a great way to understand the power and gain more intention behind what we are doing.

From Matthew's list on ethical artificial intelligence.
