Introduction
Machine Learning has granted incredible power to humans. The power to run tasks
in automated manner, the power to make our lives comfrotable,the power to
improve things continuously by studying decisions at large sacle. And the power to
create species who think better than humans.
Dont believe me? Read what Googles CEO Mr. Sundar Pichai had to say last week:
Dont you read books? Oh! I see, you dont get time. Right? Must be a busy man,
perhaps!
When Elon Musk, the busiest man of planet right now, was asked about his secret
of success, he replied, I used to read books. A LOT. Later, Kimbal Musk, Elons
brother said, He would even complete two books in a day.
The phenomenon of Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence, isthoroughly
covered in the books mentioned below.
In this article, Ive listed the best books on Machine Learning and Artificial
Intelligence. Books are in no order. The motive of this article is not to promote any
particular book, but you make you aware of a world whichexists beyond video
tutorials, blogs and podcasts.

Machine Learning
Programming Collective Intelligence (http://amzn.to/2jcT9W2)
(https://www.analyticsvidhya.com/wp-
content/uploads/2015/10/17.png)
The book was written long before data science and machine learning acquiredthe
cult status they have today but the topics and chapters are entirely relevant even
today! Some of the topics covered in the book are collaborative filtering
techniques, search engine features, Bayesian filtering and Support vector
machines. If you dont have a copy of this book order it as soon as you finish
reading this article! The book uses Python to deliver machine learning in a
fascinating manner.
After youve read the above books, you are good to dive
into machine learning. This is a great introductory book on
machine learning. Itprovides a nice overview of ml
theoremswith pseudocode summaries of their algorithms.
Apart from case studies,Tom has used basic examples to
help you understand these algorithms easily.

This book is written byYaser Abu Mostafa, Malik Magdon-Ismail and Hsuan-Tien
Lin. This book provides a perfect introduction to machine learning.This book
prepares you to understand complex areas of machine learning. Yaser has
provided to the point explanations instead of lengthy and
go-around explanations. If you choose this book, Id suggest
you to refer to online tutorials
(https://work.caltech.edu/telecourse.html) of Yaser Abu
Mostafa as well. Theyre awesome.
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach (http://amzn.to/2jd5KZc)
Who else might be the best coach to learn AI than Peter
Norvig? You have to take a course from Norvig to
understand his style of teaching. But once you do, you will
long for it!

and the Future of Human Mind (http://amzn.to/2iSGqUU)

End Notes
While compiling this list of books, I found the link of some of their legal pdfs
uploaded by their authors. Ive shared the links if you would want that (added
above). In these books, the authors have not only explained the ML concepts
precisely, but also mentionedtheir perspective and experiences using those
concepts, which you would have missed otherwise!

Please mail me the links of the pdfs of these books and any other data science
related books materials which you have.
It would be great and a treasure house if these are uploaded in a drive and
granted access.
Loved your suggestion. Im working on it. Ill share the link as soon as pdf links
are compiled.

Great article! By the way, there are actually 3 authors for Learning from Data,
not only Prof. Yaser Abu Mostafa. You forgot to mention the other 2 authors.
I missed them! My Bad. Thank you so much for highlighting this error, I would
have never known otherwise. Appreciate it.
Added now.

Quite fascinating list, please share the links for legal pdfs uploaded by their
authors.. And would it be possible to compile the list of books on
Business/Data Analytics.
Thanks for this great list! Could you share the pdfs please?
I think some of the more honourable mentions are Kevin Murphys Machine
Learning, Pattern Classification by Duda, Hart, et, al and Hal Daumes A course
in Machine learning.
Hello all,
I have added the pdf download links below their respective books in this
article. Keep Learning Machine Learning and AI.

After you study machine learning by yourself by reading book, you might need
to study some practical exercises to be better. I would recommend to take the
machine leaning courses that I took, because it covered almost everything that
I wanted. http://www.thedevmasters.com/machine-learning-in-python/
