I've taken the MOOC version of this course and it was very poorly explained. I hope the content and lecturing has changed since 2013 because the content itself is really interesting.
I wasn't impressed with the quality of the book as well. I did learn quite a few methods there (minhash) that I got to use later so thanks for that, but compared to MLPR, Learning from Data, or TESL books the quality of the former pales.
- modwilliam 7y agoI've taken a more recent version of this course and it seems that concepts were explained pretty well - particularly, the graphics in the slides were good at explaining the various algorithms step by step.
- greymalik 7y agoCan you clarify what the MLPR and TESL books refer to?
- tasubotadas 7y agoMachine Learning and Pattern Recognition The Elements of Statistical Learning
- 0x31a 7y agoThe title of Bishop's book is Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning.
- tasubotadas 7y agoYep.
- egl2019 7y agoMLPR and TESL, as much as I like them, won't help you much when you have massive amounts of data, i.e. too much to fit into memory.
- tasubotadas 7y agoThat's correct. But I was comparing the way the content was explained to you.
