"An exhilarating venture into groundbreaking computer science."Booklist, starred review

"[An] enthusiastic but not dumbed-down introduction to machine learning...lucid and consistently informative.... With wit, vision, and scholarship, Domingos decribes how these scientists are creating programs that allow a computer to teach itself. Readers...will discover fascinating insights."

"If you are interested in a crash course on the enigmatic field of machine learning and the challenges for AI practitioners that lie ahead, this book is a great read."―TechCast Global

"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, author of The Book of Why, and professor of computer science, UCLA and winner of the A. M. Turing Award

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 span

"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
