The Master Algorithm - Pedro Domingos

''Pedro Domingos demystifies machine learning and shows how wondrous and exciting the future will be'' Walter Isaacson, author of Steve JobsSociety 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.
