Notes and solutions for learning machine learning.

Learning Machine Learning

What is this repository?

This repository documents my one-year journey to learn more about machine learning. My personal opinion is that learning is best facilitated by reading great books written by experts in a field. This approach guarantees that the source material is of sufficient quality, and avoids the potential pitfall of overemphasizing technology and implementation over ideas.

Where are the solutions?

This repository contains notes and solutions to selected exercises in the following books:

• Pattern Classification by Duda et al. (Notes and solutions), October 2018 to Desember 2018

How should the material be used?

The material is published here since it might provide value for others. In no way are the notes and solutions meant as a replacement for purchasing the literature. If you decide to look at the solutions, please make an honest attempt at solving the problem on your own first. If you have improvements or additional solutions, please contribute by submitting a Pull Request to this repository.

The reading list

On the definite reading list

These are books that I will read to complete this project.
