Book draft from 9.5.2022 (the book is officially published in March 2022!)A detailed and up-to-date introduction to machine learning, presented through the unifying lens of probabilistic modeling and Bayesian decision theory.This book offers a detailed and
up-to-date introduction to machine learning (including deep learning) through the unifying lens of
probabilistic modeling and Bayesian decision theory. The book covers
mathematical background (including linear algebra and optimization), basic
supervised learning (including linear and logistic regression and deep neural networks), as well as
more advanced topics (including transfer learning and unsupervised learning). End-of-chapter exercises allow students to apply what they have learned, and an appendix covers notation.
Probabilistic Machine Learning grew out of the author’s 2012 book,
Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective. More than just a simple update, this is a completely
new book that reflects the dramatic developments in the field since 2012, most notably
deep learning. In addition, the new book is accompanied by online Python code, using libraries such as
scikit-learn, JAX, PyTorch, and Tensorflow, which can be used to reproduce nearly all the figures; this code can be run inside a web browser using cloud-based notebooks and provides
a practical complement to the theoretical topics discussed in the book. This introductory text will be followed by
a sequel that covers more advanced topics, taking the same probabilistic approach.
