机器学习已经快成为一种“刻奇”了,之所以这么说,不只是因为其在我们生活中的各个领域内都迁移默会的塑形着我们的生活与认知,更因为有太多的人对机器学习大数据一窍不通,却仍随着潮流,不得不在自己的PPT上加上大数据,仿佛这是一道魔咒,而《The master algorithm》 这本书,则是解码这道魔咒的明镜。这本书中,没有公式与代码,有的只是对机器学习中的算法本质一针见血的点破,有的只是依据这些算法而编出的日常生活中的故事,是对机器学习中核心算法的概念化的模型。一言以概之,这是一本所有有高中数学水平且无计算机背景的读者都能够读懂的科普书。如果你不想对控制着我们衣食住行方方面面的机器学习算法一无所知,那么这本书是你必读的书。
揭开大数据、人工智慧、机器学习的祕密,
打造人类文明史上zui强大的科技——zhong极演算法!
有一个zhong极演算法,可以解开宇宙所有的祕密,
现在大家都在竞争,谁能zui先解开它!
.机器学习是什麽?大演算又是什麽?
.大演算如何运作与发展,机器可以预测什麽?
.我们可以信任机器学过的东西吗?
.商业、政治为什麽要拥抱机器学习?
.不只商业与政治,医学与科学界也亟需机器学习,包含DNA解码、癌症药品开发等。
.你担心人类会被大演算所取代吗?可以避免吗?该如何做?
华盛顿大学电脑工程系教授佩德罗.多明戈斯(Pedro Domingos)破解了一个在机器学习领域中长久以来的瓶颈,成功把机器学习、哲学与人工智慧结合起来,这个突破性研究还登上了《新科学人》(New Scientist)杂志的封面故事。
他指出,机器学习有五大思想学派,每个学派有主要的演算法,能帮我们解决特定的问题──
.符号理论学派:将学习视为是逆向演绎法,从哲学、心理学和逻辑思路方面取得概念
.类神经网路学派:导传递演算法可以模拟人脑思考行为,是受到神经科学和物理学的启发
.演化论学派:遗传程式规划会在电脑上模拟演化,澈底运用遗传基因和演化生物学理论
.贝氏定理学派:相信学习是机率推理的形式,是根据统计学的理论
.类比推理学派:支持向量机从相似度判断进行推论学习,并受到心理学和数学的影响
多明戈斯认为,如果有人可以成功整合这些演算法的优点,
就能发展出「zhong极演算法」,便可以从大数据与人工智慧中,
获得世界上过去、现在与未来的所有知识,将创造新纪元的文明。
站在大数据与文明终将合一的浪潮上,
zhong极演算法将带领我们,望见未来。
【为什麽你必须知道大演算?】
◎如果你是一般市民或决策人士
让你了解大演算的来龙去脉,从隐私到未来的工作与机器人战争的伦理,
你将会看到真正的问题在哪裡,并思考如何看待这些问题。
◎如果你要把机器学习运用在工作上
不管你在哪个行业、什麽职业别,机器学习能帮你省下人工编写程式的费用,
避免资讯系统僵化,并预测未来你会面临的科技发展,
甚至让你成为精准的市场分析家、解读大数据的科学家。
◎如果你是科学家或工程师
过去的数学和现有资讯学习与数据分析,不会让你有任何改变。
机器学习将让你具备非线性分析,带给你崭新的科学世界观,有所突破。
◎如果你是机器学习专家
虽然你应该很熟悉机器学习,但本书仍会提供给你许多新的想法、
机器学习发展史上有价值的资讯、有用桉例与类似的情境,
甚至提供给你机器学习的崭新观点,启迪你全新的思考方向。
◎如果你是任何学龄阶段的学生
目前世界各地极度缺乏机器学习专家,这是现在也是未来zui受关注的领域。
未来,不只局限现有的资讯工程、电机工程等相关科系,
无论是医学、医工、生物科技、行销、电商、社会、心理、哲学、教育、财经等各科系,
机器学习终将与这些领域整合,现在了解大演算,你就不会被趋势潮流所淘汰。
Algorithms increasingly run our lives. They find books, movies, jobs, and dates for us, manage our investments, and discover new drugs. More and more, these algorithms work by learning from the trails of data we leave in our newly digital world. Like curious children, they observe us, imitate, and experiment. And in the world’s top research labs and universities, the race is on to invent the ultimate learning algorithm: one capable of discovering any knowledge from data, and doing anything we want, before we even ask.
Machine learning is the automation of discovery—the scientific method on steroids—that enables intelligent robots and computers to program themselves. No field of science today is more important yet more shrouded in mystery. Pedro Domingos, one of the field’s leading lights, lifts the veil for the first time to give us a peek inside the learning machines that power Google, and your smartphone. He charts a course through machine learning’s five major schools of thought, showing how they turn ideas from neuroscience, evolution, psychology, physics, and statistics into algorithms ready to serve you. Step by step, he assembles a blueprint for the future universal learner—the Master Algorithm—and discusses what it means for you, and for the future of business, science, and society.
If data-ism is today’s rising philosophy, this book will be its bible. The quest for universal learning is one of the most significant, fascinating, and revolutionary intellectual developments of all time. A groundbreaking book, The Master Algorithm is the essential guide for anyone and everyone wanting to understand not just how the revolution will happen, but how to be at its forefront.

—New Scientist
“[The Master Algorithm] opens the doorway to a world many of us never see or think about, though it has a tremendous impact on our daily lives.”
—Shelf Awareness for Readers
“[The Master Algorithm] does a good job of examining the field’s five main techniques...The subject is meaty and the author…has a knack for introducing concepts at the right moment.”
—The Economist
“Wonderfully erudite, humorous, and easy to read.”
—KDNuggets
“Domingos is a genial and amusing guide, who sneaks us around the backstage areas of the science in order to witness the sometimes personal (and occasionally acrimonious) tenor of research on the subject in recent decades... This is a highly inclusive book, aimed at a wide range of readers from the merely curious to those who might be interested in pursuing a career in the field. Descriptions and discussions are presented with a commendable lack of jargon and the examples are clear and accessible.”
—Times Higher Education
“An exhilarating venture into groundbreaking computer science.”
—Booklist, starred review
“[An] enthusiastic but not dumbed-down introduction to machine learning... lucid and consistently informative.... With wit, vision, and scholarship, Domingos describes how these scientists are creating programs that allow a computer to teach itself. Readers...will discover fascinating insights.”
—Kirkus Reviews
“This book is a sheer pleasure, mixed with education. I am recommending it to all my students, those who studied machine learning, those who are about to do it and those who are about to teach it. The author succeeds not only in presenting an accurate and entertaining journey through the methodological ideas behind machine learning but also in embedding those ideas in a colorful tapestry of philosophical questions concerning the ultimate capacity of man to emulate itself. A must read for both realists and futurists.”
—Judea Pearl, Professor of Computer Science, UCLA and winner of the A. M. Turing Award
“Starting with the audacious claim that all knowledge can be derived from data by a single ‘master algorithm,’ Domingos takes the reader on a fast-paced journey through the brave new world of machine learning. Writing breezily but with deep authority, Domingos is the perfect tour guide from whom you will learn everything you need to know about this exciting field, and a surprising amount about science and philosophy as well.”
—Duncan Watts, Principal Researcher, Microsoft Research, and author of Six Degrees and Everything Is Obvious *Once You Know the Answer
“The holy grail of computer science is a machine that can teach itself, as we humans do, from experience. Machine learning could help us do everything from curing cancer to building humanoid robots. Pedro Domingos demystifies machine learning and shows how wondrous and exciting the future will be.”
—Walter Isaacson, author of Steve Jobs and The Innovators
“Machine learning, known in commercial use as predictive analytics, is changing the world. This riveting, far-reaching, and inspiring book introduces the deep scientific concepts to even non-technical readers, and yet also satisfies experts with a fresh, profound perspective that reveals the most promising research directions. It's a rare gem indeed.”
—Eric Siegel, founder of Predictive Analytics World and author of Predictive Analytics: The Power to Predict Who Will Click, Buy, Lie, or Die
“With terms like ‘Machine Learning’ and ‘Big Data’ regularly making headlines, there is no shortage of hype-filled business books on the subject. There are also textbooks that are too technical to be accessible. For those in the middle—from executives to college students—this is the ideal book, showing how and why things really work without the heavy math. Unlike other books that proclaim a bright future, this one actually gives you what you need to understand the changes that are coming.”
—Peter Norvig, Director of Research, Google and coauthor of Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach
“Machine learning is the single most transformative technology that will shape our lives over the next fifteen years. This book is a must-read—a bold and beautifully written new framework for looking into the future.”

我们需要能够通过从大规模数据中提取出重要模式以便减少信息负载的计算机。这具有很多深刻的和令人着迷的科学问题:一台计算机如何自动决定对于目标知识哪种表征是zui好的?它可以如何将真正的规律和机缘巧合区分开?可以如何利用预先存在的知识?计算资源有限的计算机如何学习?我们可以通过怎样的方式理解所得到的结果?
电脑工程博士,现任华盛顿大学电脑工程系教授,该系是全美前十大电脑工程名校。他初试啼声闻名圈内是两度在资料採矿大会上获得zui佳论文,并在此后成为该领域的意见。他在专业领域内获奖无数,还包含美国国家科学职业成就奬,他也是史丹佛大学及麻省理工学院客座教授。
他zui有名的功绩是破解了一个在机器学习领域中长久以来的瓶颈,成功把机器学习、哲学与人工智慧结合起来。这个突破性的研究还曾经登上着名的《新科学人》(New Scientist)杂志的封面故事。
他在华盛顿大学开设的机器学习课程,一向都是该校zui受欢迎的课程之一。
电脑工程学术背景的他,却不是个严肃学究,他擅长公开演说,传达机器学习与大数据的相关知识,经常受邀公开演讲。他对写作非常有兴趣,曾经鑽研过写作课,师承《辛德勒的名单》作者汤玛斯.肯纳利。
除了电脑科技的学术论文,他也经常撰写音乐技术相关的专栏文章。因为他年轻时代曾经是个摇滚乐团的键盘手。该乐团还曾经与EMI签约,经常四处表演,当时他除了是键盘手,还是负责接受媒体採访的人。他离开乐团,是因为要专心攻读电脑科学博士,他很早就对机器学习兴趣浓厚,因为他认为,这是zui后会统治世界的一种关键技术。
