The machine learning revolution -- The master algorithm -- Hume's problem of induction -- How does your brain learn? -- Evolution : nature's learning algorithm -- In the church of the Reverend Bayes -- You are what you resemble -- Learning without a teacher -- The pieces of the puzzle fall into place -- This is the world on machine learning
"In the world's top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data and doing anything we want before we even ask. Pedro Domingos, a leader in artificial intelligence, lifts the veil for the first time to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He reveals how they turn ideas from neuroscience, evolution, psychology, physics, and statistics into algorithms ready to serve you. Step-by-step, he assembles a blueprint for the universal learner--the Master Algorithm. What will its creation mean for you, and for the future of business, science, and society? The Master Algorithm answers all these questions, making it the essential guide for anyone and everyone who wants to understand not just how this revolution will happen, but how to be at its forefront. If data-ism is today's rising philosophy, this book will be its bible."--Page 4 of cover
