The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World
The Master Algorithm How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World Author:Pedro Domingos 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 th... more »e 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.« less
