Pedro Domingos - The Master Algorithm : How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World download FB2, DJV, DOC
9780465065707 English 0465065708 Algorithms increasingly run our lives. They find books, movies, jobs, and dates for us, manage our investments, and discover new drugs. More and more, these algorithms work by learning from the trails of data we leave in our newly digital world. Like curious children, they observe us, imitate, and experiment. And 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. Machine learning is the automation of discoverythe scientific method on steroidsthat enables intelligent robots and computers to program themselves. No field of science today is more important yet more shrouded in mystery. Pedro Domingos, one of the field s leading lights, lifts the veil for the first time to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, Amazon, and your smartphone. He charts a course through machine learning s five major schools of thought, showing 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 future universal learnerthe Master Algorithmand discusses what it means for you, and for the future of business, science, and society. If data-ism is today s rising philosophy, this book will be its bible. The quest for universal learning is one of the most significant, fascinating, and revolutionary intellectual developments of all time. A groundbreaking book, The Master Algorithm is the essential guide for anyone and everyone wanting to understand not just how the revolution will happen, but how to be at its forefront. ", Under the aegis of machine learning in our data-driven machine age, computers are programming themselves and learning about--and solving--an extraordinary range of problems, from the mundane to the most daunting. Today it is machine learning programs that enable Amazon and Netflix to predict what users will like, Apple to power Siri's ability to understand voices, and Google to pilot cars. These programs are already helping us fight the war on cancer and predict the movements of the stock market, and they are making great headway with instant language translation and discovering new laws of nature. But machine learning is incomplete, and its practitioners across the globe are seeking the most powerful algorithm of all. The Master Algorithm will not be limited to solving particular problems but will be able to learn anything and solve any problem, however difficult, and Pedro Domingos, a trailblazing computer scientist, is at the very forefront of the search for it. With the Master Algorithm in hand and data as its fuel, machine learning--essentially the automation of discovery, a kind of scientific method on steroids--will become the most powerful technology humanity has ever devised. And "The Master Algorithm" will be its bible., We live in a data-driven machine age, one where computers are learning how to program themselves and one single algorithm could very well be applied to everything. With data as its fuel, machine learning--the automation of discovery, a kind of scientific method on steroids--will become ever more powerful. If data-ism is the rising philosophy of the day, this book, The Master Algorithm will be its bible. But machine learning is about more than big data: it is about solving the mysteries of intelligence itself. In The Master Algorithm , computer scientist Pedro Domingos not only charts a course through the five major schools of thought--symbolist, connectionist, evolutionary, Bayesian, and analogist--but also demonstrates the ways in which they've all failed at constructing the Master Algorithm; he unveils his own theory, Alchemy, along the way. The quest for the universal learner is one of the most significant, fascinating, and revolutionary intellectual developments of all time--and The Master Algorithm is the essential guide for anyone and everyone wanting to understand not just how the revolution will happen, but how they can make it happen.
