An Introduction to Machine Learning

The book consists of 17 chapters, each covering one major topic. The chapters are divided into sections, each devoted to one critical problem. The student is advised to proceed to the next section only after having answered the set of 2–4 “control questions” at the end of the previous section. These questions are here to help the student decide whether he or she has mastered the given material. If not, it is necessary to return to the previous text.
