Society is changing, one learning algorithm at a time, from search engines to online dating, personalized medicine to predicting the stock market. But learning algorithms are not just about Big Data - these algorithms take raw data and make it useful by creating more algorithms. This is something new under the sun: a technology that builds itself. In The Master Algorithm, Pedro Domingos reveals how machine learning is remaking business, politics, science and war. And he takes us on an awe-inspiring quest to find 'The Master Algorithm' - a universal learner capable of deriving all knowledge from data.

Informative

The Master Algorithm is a reasonable overview of the growing field of machine learning. The author explores the idea of there being a master algorithm which could explain everything given enough data. The idea seems a bit over the top when initially phrased but the real purpose of the book is to introduce ideas used in machine learning and how they work and are used to solve problems

The Master Algorithm: How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World

The core chapters are a good introduction to five machine learning approaches and from that the structural elements of learning. The author's description of how he and team abstracted and combined these elements into a synthesized algorithm, Alchemy, is told in a lively, convincing and interesting way.
