L'Algoritmo Definitivo

Review moved to gwern.net .

I am really struggling to remember a book that has irritated me as much as this one, which is a shame because it's on a very interesting and significant subject. Pedro Domingos takes us into the world of computer programs that solve problems through learning, exploring everything from back propagati Leggi tutto

Remembering Sophia... While reading this book, the image of Sophia was constantly assaulting my mental screen! I'm sure most of you remember that gorgeous social robot, that could blink, smile, raise an eyebrow, and was capable of 59 more facial expressions. She has been a media darling, showing hersel Leggi tutto

A Era dos Humanóides Que sensação experimentariam, se algum dia entrassem de urgência num hospital, para uma intervenção cirúrgica, e dessem de caras com um robot cirurgião?! E se numa ida ao tribunal, a ocupar a cadeira do respeitável juiz, se encontrasse um humanóide?! Para já, tais eventos ainda fig Leggi tutto

This review is a combination of 3- and 5 star reviews, so on average a 4 star rating. I give these two ratings depending on who is reading this review. If you are a total novice in the world of computer science, or science in general for that matter, then this will likely be a 5 star book. It does a Leggi tutto

An algorithm to quantify them, find them all, drive them into social media and tie them as customers. Please note that I have put the original German text to the end of this review. Just if you might be interested. The advantage of the best algorithm will lie in its autonomous development and improvem Leggi tutto

The author states that "intuition is what you use when you don't have enough data". The author will show heuristically how intuition is slowly being taken out of analyzing big data and being replaced with algorithms which teach themselves how to make the data speak for themselves. "All learning star Leggi tutto

Um livro bem denso que usa a inteligência artificial como contexto para explicar algoritmos. Passando pelos vários tipos de algoritmos de machine learning: conexionistas, bayesianos, evolutivos, simbolistas e analogistas. Pesado, mas didático e bem humorado. Não recomendo para o público geral. Recome Leggi tutto

This book is filled with complex computer science concepts. I got halfway before getting lost in most of the content. It is hard to grasp unless you've studied computer science. Essentially, this book is about the quest to create 'The Master Algorithm,' which can create all other algorithms. There w Leggi tutto

I like Pedro Domingos. He has some very nice accessible papers, and he seems like a nice guy (having done an online course, being open source fan, etc etc). But, this book is a pile of crap. Despite his best efforts, Domingos isn't a novelist, which makes the writing a bit cheesy. Putting that aside, Leggi tutto
