Resumen del Editor

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.

Not much meat to this.

I was hoping for a deeper dive, but it never went there. This never went beyond a summary of a summary. And, the reading was awkward.

Great Machine Learning Book

This book was great. The only thing I didn't like was the narrator. To cheesy.

The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultima

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It likes story. It is general overview how machine learning will do for our future.

If you’ve listened to books by Pedro Domingos before, how does this one compare?

My first time to listen the books by Pedro Domingos.

Did The Master Algorithm inspire you to do anything?

Np.

interesting topic, but sometimes hard to follow

narrator did his best to describe figures and tables, but it was sometimes tough to follow the equations.

The Book Hunter

love the book I read all I can about AI and syfy. when lam finished I will review other book by the author.

This book was fairly insightful and I enjoyed it.

This is the type of book you listen to more then once. I enjoyed the audio clips

What a good introduction!

This was a good introduction. I am a novice to this field, but it certainly piqued my interest. I particularly liked Domingos’ parsing of learning algorithms into five schools. It really made me want to learn more. I also thought the narration helped—a great experience!

Very good introduction to the subject

Love the overview. Math in this field has always confounded me. But the systematic presentation of concepts with the examples has sparked my interest in the field.

You will not be disappointed!

Excellent book to a familiarization with machine learning. You will get an understanding of the technical components are neural networks. Overall you will learn the basics of AI.

Evolution

Evolution will someday be seen as the big joke that it is. I’m sick of hearing the billions of years crap. But other than that it was a great book!
