Duda, P. Hart D. Stork, Pattern Classification (2nd ed.), Wiley (Required) • T. Mitchell, Machine Learning, McGraw-Hill (Recommended) • Papers A Few Quotes • “A breakthrough in machine learning would be worth ten Microsofts” (Bill Gates, Chairman, Microsoft) • “Machine learning is the next Internet” (Tony Tether, Director, DARPA) • Machine learning is the hot new thing” (John Hennessy, President, Stanford) • “Web rankings today are mostly a matter of machine learning” (Prabhakar Raghavan, Dir. Research, Yahoo) • “Machine learning is going to result in a real revolution” (Greg Papadopoulos, CTO, Sun) • “Machine learning is today’s discontinuity” (Jerry Yang, CEO, Yahoo) So What Is Machine Learning? • Automating automation • Getting computers to program themselves • Writing software is the bottleneck • Let the data do the work instead! Traditional Programming Data Computer Output Program Machine Learning Data Computer Program Output Magic? No, more like gardening • Seeds = Algorithms • Nutrients = Data • Gardener = You •
