I like textbooks for this. I can’t find them anymore for new things I’m interested in. For instance, there is no decent textbook on modern machine learning. Prior to 2014 they were great. Programming books in general seem way too narrow and quickly become obsolete.
- s1t5 7y ago> For instance, there is no decent textbook on modern machine learning. Prior to 2014 they were great. Do you mean books on theory or on language-specific libraries? Either way I can think of many examples. Also, the pre-2014 books are still very relevant - it's only deep learning that has seen significant developments since then.
- methusala8 7y agoCan you suggest a few apart from the one by Geron? Thanks.
- jl2718 7y agoTheory and language-agnostic algorithmic implementation generally is appropriate for 'intermediate' level to my understanding. Read PRML or MLaPP, and then please tell me that you know of a suitable modern successor. Not Goodfellow. Sorry Ian.
- s1t5 7y agoThat's my second point though - why do you think that PRML and MLaPP need a modern successor at all?
