It is the basis for a new approach to artificial intelligence that aims to program computers to use example data or past experience to solve a given problem. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, Ethem Alpaydin offers a concise and accessible overview of \"the new AI.\" This expanded edition offers new material on such challenges facing machine learning as privacy, security, accountability, and bias. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlpaydin, author of a popular textbook on machine learning, explains that as \"Big Data\" has gotten bigger, the theory of machine learning--the foundation of efforts to process that data into knowledge--has also advanced. He describes the evolution of the field, explains important learning algorithms, and presents example applications. He discusses the use of machine learning algorithms for pattern recognition; artificial neural networks inspired by the human brain; algorithms that learn associations between instances; and reinforcement learning, when an autonomous agent learns to take actions to maximize reward. In a new chapter, he considers transparency, explainability, and fairness, and the ethical and legal implications of making decisions based on data.\r","brand":"Ethem Alpaydin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44441275007212,"sku":"9780262542524","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/1791\/3068\/files\/9780262542524.jpg?v=1720039282","url":"https:\/\/allstora.com\/products\/machine-learning-revised-and-updated-edition","provider":"Allstora","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
