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
