About this product
Product Information
A thought-provoking and wide-ranging exploration of machine learning and the race to build computer intelligences as flexible as our own 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. In The Master Algorithm , Pedro Domingos lifts the veil to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner--the Master Algorithm--and discusses what it will mean for business, science, and society. If data-ism is today's philosophy, this book is its bible.

Reviews
"[An] enthusiastic but not dumbed-down introduction to machine learning... lucid and consistently informative.... With wit, vision, and scholarship, Domingos describes how these scientists are creating programs that allow a computer to teach itself. Readers...will discover fascinating insights." -- Kirkus Reviews "This book is a sheer pleasure, mixed with education. I am recommending it to all my students, those who studied machine learning, those who are about to do it and those who are about to teach it. The author succeeds not only in presenting an accurate and entertaining journey through the methodological ideas behind machine learning but also in embedding those ideas in a colorful tapestry of philosophical questions concerning the ultimate capacity of man to emulate itself. A must read for both realists and futurists." --Judea Pearl, Professor of Computer Science, UCLA and winner of the A. M. Turing Award, "Pedro Domingos demystifies machine learning andshows how wondrous and exciting the future will be."-- Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and The Innovators, "Domingos is the perfect tour guide from whom you will learn everythingyou need to know about this exciting field, and a surprising amount about sience and philosophy as well."-- Duncan Watts, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research, and author of Six Degrees and Everything Is Obvious *Once You Know the Answer, "Unlike other books that proclaim a bright future, this one actually gves you what you need to understand the changes that are coming."-- Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google andcoauthor of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach, "If you are interested in a crash course on the enigmatic field ofmachine learning and the challenges for AI practitioners that lie ahead, this book is a great read."-- TechCast Global, ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE MASTER ALGORITHM "The holy grail of computer science is a machine that can teach itself, as we humans do, from experience. Machine learning could help us do everything from curing cancer to building humanoid robots. Pedro Domingos demystifies machine learning and shows how wondrous and exciting the future will be." --Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and The Innovators "With terms like 'Machine Learning' and 'Big Data' regularly making headlines, there is no shortage of hype-filled business books on the subject. There are also textbooks that are too technical to be accessible. For those in the middle--from executives to college students--this is the ideal book, showing how and why things really work without the heavy math. Unlike other books that proclaim a bright future, this one actually gives you what you need to understand the changes that are coming." --Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google and coauthor of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach "Machine learning is the single most transformative technology that will shape our lives over the next fifteen years. This book is a must-read--a bold and beautifully written new framework for looking into the future." --Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm, "This book is a sheer pleasure, mixed with education. I am recommending it to all my students, those who studied machine learning, those who are about to do it and those who are about to teach it."-- Judea Pearl, professor of computer science, UCLA and winner of the A.

Pedro Domingos demystifies machine learning and shows how wondrous and exciting the future will be." --Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and The Innovators "Machine learning, known in commercial use as predictive analytics, is changing the world. This riveting, far-reaching, and inspiring book introduces the deep scientific concepts to even non-technical readers, and yet also satisfies experts with a fresh, profound perspective that reveals the most promising research directions. It's a rare gem indeed." --Eric Siegel, founder of Predictive Analytics World and author of Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die "With terms like 'Machine Learning' and 'Big Data' regularly making headlines, there is no shortage of hype-filled business books on the subject.

This book is a must-read--a bold and beautifully written new framework for looking into the future." --Geoffrey Moore, author of Crossing the Chasm "This is an incredibly important and useful book. Machine learning is already critical to your life and work, and will only become more so. Finally, Pedro Domingos has written about it in a clear and understandable fashion." --Thomas H. Davenport, Distinguished Professor, Babson College and author of Competing on Analytics and Big Data @ Work, "[ The Master Algorithm ] does a good job of examining the field's five main techniques.... The subject is meaty and the author...has a knack for introducing concepts at the right moment."-- The Economist, ADVANCE PRAISE FOR THE MASTER ALGORITHM "[An] enthusiastic but not dumbed-down introduction to machine learning... lucid and consistently informative...

Pedro Domingos initiates you to the mysterious languages spoken by its five tribes, and invites you to join in his plan to unite them, creating the most powerful technology our civilization has ever seen." --Sebastian Seung, Professor, Princeton, and author of Connectome "A delightful book by one of the leading experts in the field.
