Machine Learning For Beginners: An Introduction for Beginners, Why Machine Learning Matters Today and How Machine Learning Networks, Algorithms, Concepts and Neural Networks Really Work
If you're looking for a way to become an expert in machine learning, then keep reading... Machine learning is an incredibly dense topic. It's hard to imagine condensing it into an easily readable and digestible format. However, this book aims to do exactly that. Throughout the course of this book, we're going to be covering numerous different aspects of machine learning, such Starting from nothing, we slowly work our way through all the concepts that are central to machine learning. By the end of this book, you're going to feel as though you have an extremely firm understanding of what machine learning is, how it can be used, and most importantly, how it can change the world. You're also going to have an understanding of the logic behind the algorithms and what they aim to accomplish. Don't waste your time working with a book that's only going to make an already complicated topic even more complicated. Pick up this book and learn everything you need to know in no time!

I came across this as part of recommended resources to start learning about machine learning. I had actually studied some of the concepts within in undergrad but some of the writing really helped to click in place my understanding with the simplicity of the text. I recommend it as a companion resource to something more in-depth for understanding but when you get too thick in the woods you can see here what people are actually trying to achieve with some particular method or concept.
Very brief. Mixes formal and informal language. The definition of Manhattan distance is wrong, should be absolute denoted with || instead of normal parantheses.
