Preview — Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning by Christopher M. Bishop
Pattern recognition has its origins in engineering, whereas machine learning grew out of computer science. However, these activities can be viewed as two facets of the same field, and together they have undergone substantial development over the past ten years. In particular, Bayesian methods have grown from a specialist niche to become mainstream, while graphical models h..more

If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review. Ropey Lemmings: 'Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning' by Christopher M. Bishop As far as I can see Machine Learning is the equivalent of going in to B&Q and being told by the enthusiastic sales rep that the washing machine you are looking at is very popular (and therefore you should buy it too). Through clenched teeth I generally growl 'That doesn't mean I think it is the best washing machine.' Following the herd is not my bag;..more
Even with the help of a nuclear physicists turned neurophysiology data analyst, I couldn’t work beyond the first four chapters, and perhaps only a percentage of those. However, the efforts are rewarding. If you have read the entirety of this book, and understand it, then I would very much like to replace part of my brain with yours.
Dave, who knows about these things, recommended it.. I have just ordered a copy.
For beginners who need to understand Bayesian perspective on Machine Learning, I'd would say that's the best so far. The author has make good attempt to explain complicated theories in simplified manner by giving examples/applications. The best part of the book are chapters on graphical models (chapter 8), mixture model EM (chap 9) and approximate inference (chap 10). The reason I didn't give 5 stars because it is too narrow a perspective on Machine Learning (only from Bayesian Perspective) that..more
1. The book is mainly about Bayesian approach. And many important techniques are missing. This is the biggest problem I think. 2. “Inconsistent difficulty”, too much time spent on simple things and very short time spent on complicated stuff. 3. Lack of techniques demonstration on real world problems.
I must say this is a pretty painful read. Some parts seem to go very deep without much purpose, some topics which are pretty wide and important are skipped over in a paragraph. Maybe this book needs to go together with a taught course on the topic. On itself it is just too much.
Being a new text, topics in modern machine learning research are covered. Bishop prefers intuitive explanations with lots of figures over mathematical rigor (Which is fine by me! =). A sample chapter is available at Bishop's website.
Took me a year to finish this book :D

Read it if you want to really understand statistical learning. A fundamental book about fundamental things. It is not the easy one but it will pay off.
Mar 22, 2019Fernando Flores rated it really liked it
One of my first book on machine learning, this book can be painful if you don't have a solid background in algebra.
I consider PRML one of the classic machine learning text books despite its moderate age (only 10 years). The book presents the probabilistic approach to modelling, in particular Bayesian machine learning. The material seems quite intimidating for readers that come from a not-so-strong mathematical background. But once you get over the initial inertia and practice deriving the equations on your own, you'll get a deep understanding of the content.

Very decent mathematical overview of Data Science/ML with an emphasis on variational methods. It is particularly good intro to Bayesian stats/philosophy with nice pictures which is a good for those who don't know stats that well but are scientists at heart. I enjoyed it but I also recommended it many times over to friends who knew far less stats than me and they often were extremely compelled by it (good for teaching). It is an intro book, just to note.

recommended reading on machine learning from Gatsby (the neuroscience group in London, not the fictional Roaring 20s tail-chaser)
Apply Bayesian reasoning to anything. Not for beginners but after reading 10 times it gets clearer ;). This was the book in my machine learning course and it was hard to process, but worth it.
This book attempts to be self-contained, e.g: starting from probability and the Bayes' theorem as the foundation. But it is by no means an introductory book. If you have not developed an intuition for statistics and probability, you will find this book a very painful read. This being said, I think you might want to use other books in combination with this book as reference to make the process a little bit easier. In addition, some people have put together code (look for PRMLT on GitHub) in Matlab,..more

Strong emphasis on the Bayesian viewpoint and heavy on equations. The coloured panels with the short bio of famous statisticians and other important scientific figures were a welcomed addition to make the whole thing more digest. So overall a difficult read, certainly not the easiest to learn all the basics but an excellent manual for the researcher looking for something specific, especially if Bayesian related.
Mar 30, 2019Dhanya Jothimani rated it really liked it
Actual Rating: 4.5 Recommended for understanding the Bayesian perspective of Machine Learning algorithms but it doesn't give a comparative analysis with Frequentist approach. Good for learning the (theoretical or ) mathematical aspects of algorithms and their graphical representation. Focus on real world applications missing. P.S.: Used for teaching Bayesian Statistics and Machine Learning course for graduate students
Feb 09, 2019Chengchengzhao rated it really liked it
I read this book during my graduate study. At that time, this book was just so good. There are so many details in it, I learned to derive the EM algorithm for Gaussian mixture models and used the knowledge to pass one interview for job hunting. However, this book is written by a world-renowned Bayesian machine learning expert. If you want to know some frequentist points of views about the ML area, this may not help. In short, this is a great book to read!
A foundational book that covers the fundamentals of probabilistic pattern recognition. An essential text that widens the horizon of machine learning engineers beyond the discriminative deep learning models as we have today.
May 09, 2019Rodrigo Rivera rated it it was amazing
Even more than 10 years after its publication, this book remains the best learning source for bayesian machine learning. Clear explanations, colorful figures and a beautiful edition makes this book a truly classic. Hope one day Chris Bishop gives us a second edition.
One of the best textbooks on ML. My favorite topics of the books are Neural Networks, Graphical Methods, EM algorithm and one of the best introduction to Kernel Machines such as SVN and RVN. The book takes very strong emphasis to Bayesian inference.
Aug 21, 2018Christopher Hendra rated it it was amazing
A really good read for graduate student intending to pursue data science/statistics/machine learning related research. It is comprehensive and provide the necessary amount of rigour to understand basic concepts beyond the intuition level
If you want to learn about Bayesian Machine Learning this is The Book. However, it falls short on intuitive explanations compared to ISLR and ESLR, so those might be better for a first introduction to ML.
It's a book for researchers who really want to understand machine learning.
A very classic book of Machine Learning. Always strongly recommend to those who want to get into the field of ML.
This is a great book for anyone starting on machine learning. Great details on the mathematics behind supervised and unsupervised learning.

Extremely dense and complicated book that can take months to read. It overlaps a lot with 'The Elements of Statistical Learning' but the latter is more user-friendly.
