Description
Mit Press Machine Learning Revised And Updated Edition by Ethem Alpaydin
A Concise Overview Of Machine Learning--Computer Programs That Learn From Data--The Basis Of Such Applications As Voice Recognition And Driverless Cars. Today, Machine Learning Underlies A Range Of Applications We Use Every Day, From Product Recommendations To Voice Recognition--As Well As Some We Don'T Yet Use Everyday, Including Driverless Cars. It Is The Basis For A New Approach To Artificial Intelligence That Aims To Program Computers To Use Example Data Or Past Experience To Solve A Given Problem. In This Volume In The Mit Press Essential Knowledge Series, Ethem Alpaydin Offers A Concise And Accessible Overview Of The New Ai. This Expanded Edition Offers New Material On Such Challenges Facing Machine Learning As Privacy, Security, Accountability, And Bias. Alpaydin, Author Of A Popular Textbook On Machine Learning, Explains That As Big Data Has Gotten Bigger, The Theory Of Machine Learning--The Foundation Of Efforts To Process That Data Into Knowledge--Has Also Advanced. He Describes The Evolution Of The Field, Explains Important Learning Algorithms, And Presents Example Applications. He Discusses The Use Of Machine Learning Algorithms For Pattern Recognition; Artificial Neural Networks Inspired By The Human Brain; Algorithms That Learn Associations Between Instances; And Reinforcement Learning, When An Autonomous Agent Learns To Take Actions To Maximize Reward. In A New Chapter, He Considers Transparency, Explainability, And Fairness, And The Ethical And Legal Implications Of Making Decisions Based On Data.
