It is the basis of the new approach in computing where we do not write programs but collect data; the idea is to learn the algorithms for the tasks automatically from data. As computing devices grow more ubiquitous?? a larger part of our lives and work is recorded digitally?? and as "ata" has gotten bigger?? the theory of machine le"ning -- the foundation of efforts to process that data into knowledge -- has also advanced. In this book?? machine learning expert Ethem Alpaydin offers a co
