If you want a more mathematical/statistical take on Machine Learning, then the two books by Hastie/Tibshirani et al are definitely worth a read (plus, they're free to download from the authors' websites!):
Introduction to Statistical Learning:
http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/ http://www-bcf.usc.edu/~gareth/ISL/
The Elements of Statistical Learning:
http://statweb.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/ http://statweb.stanford.edu/~tibs/ElemStatLearn/
Obviously there is the whole field of "deep learning" as well! A good place to start is with: http://deeplearning.net/ http://deeplearning.net/

In case you are interested in MLaaS (Machine Learning as a Service), you can check these as well: Amazon Machine Learning: http://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/ http://aws.amazon.com/machine-learning/ (my review here: http://cloudacademy.com/blog/aws-machine-learning/ http://cloudacademy.com/blog/aws-machine-learning/) Azure Machine Learning: http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/machine-learning/ http://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/services/machine-learning/ (my review here: http://cloudacademy.com/blog/azure-machine-learning/ http://cloudacademy.com/blog/azure-machine-learning/) Google Prediction API: https://cloud.google.com/prediction/ https://cloud.google.com/prediction/ BigML: https://bigml.com/ https://bigml.com/ Prediction.io: https://prediction.io/ https://prediction.io/ OpenML: http://openml.org/ http://openml.org/
- yedhukrishnan 11y agoI went through the links and your review. They are really good. Thanks!
- yedhukrishnan 11y agoThose are really useful. Thank you. Books are pricey though!
- shogunmike 11y agoI know...some of them are indeed expensive! At least the latter two ("ISL" and "ESL") are free to download though.
