For neural nets, consider Bengio's book: http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~bengioy/dlbook/ http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~bengioy/dlbook/ For something lighter but insightful, Pedro Domingo's The Master Algorithm is quite fun. A great number of classes are now available online. I prefer the Stanford classes. http://cs229.stanford.edu/ http://cs229.stanford.edu/ and http://cs224d.stanford.edu/ http://cs224d.stanford.edu/ are good places to start. There are more.
