A 2014 book on machine learning sounds quaint and historical.
- nerdponx 3y agoIt depends on the particular subtopics it covers. Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective is from 2012 and it's still a great resource, although Murphy's newer book will certainly cover more up-to-date material.
- dawnofdusk 3y agoDepends on what you want from a (text)book. In my mind books should be authoritative, they should include things that have had some thought put into them and are fairly well studied/verified. Modern advances in deep learning/ML are exciting but are very often not this. I would not a read a book which is just some recent hype papers from NeurIPS/ICML stapled together.
