About the Author
A. Aldo Faisal leads the Brain and Behaviour Lab at Imperial College London, where he is faculty at the Departments of Bioengineering and Computing and a Fellow of the Data Science Institute. He is the director of the 20Mio£ UKRI Center for Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare. Faisal studied Computer Science and Physics at the Universität Bielefeld (Germany). He obtained a Ph.D. in Computational Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge and became Junior Research Fellow in the Computational and Biological Learning Lab. His research is at the interface of neuroscience and machine learning to understand and reverse engineer brains and behavior.
Cheng Soon Ong is Principal Research Scientist at the Machine Learning Research Group, Data61, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, Canberra (CSIRO). He is also Adjunct Associate Professor at Australian National University. His research focuses on enabling scientific discovery by extending statistical machine learning methods. Ong received his Ph.D. in Computer Science at Australian National University in 2005. He was a postdoc at Max Planck Institute of Biological Cybernetics and Friedrich Miescher Laboratory. From 2008 to 2011, he was a lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule (ETH) Zürich, and in 2012 and 2013 he worked in the Diagnostic Genomics Team at NICTA in Melbourne. --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.
Review
‘The field of machine learning has grown dramatically in recent years, with an increasingly impressive spectrum of successful applications. This comprehensive text covers the key mathematical concepts that underpin modern machine learning, with a focus on linear algebra, calculus, and probability theory. It will prove valuable both as a tutorial for newcomers to the field, and as a reference text for machine learning researchers and engineers.' Christopher Bishop, Microsoft Research Cambridge
'This book provides a beautiful exposition of the mathematics underpinning modern machine learning. Highly recommended for anyone wanting a one-stop-shop to acquire a deep understanding of machine learning foundations.' Pieter Abbeel, University of California, Berkeley --This text refers to an alternate kindle_edition edition.

About the authors
Professor Dr Aldo Faisal (@AnalogAldo) is Professor of Artificial Intelligence & Neuroscience at Imperial College London where is lab is based (https://FaisalLab.org). He was awarded a prestigious UKRI Turing AI Fellowship and is since 2019 the Founding Director of the UKRI Centre for Doctoral Training in AI for Healthcare (https://ai4health.io). Aldo works at the interface of AI and Biomedical Engineering to help people in disease and health. Core to his research approach is the virtuous cycle between using data-driven/AI methods to understand, model and predict from human beahviour, neuroscientific and biomedical problems, and in turn use the scientific discoveries gained from studying these problems to drive novel Machine Learning methods. He holds honorary posts at the Gatsby Computational Neuroscience Unit (UCL, London), at the MRC London Institute of Medical Sciences, or as Honorary Senior Fellow at the Nuffield Department of Clinical Neuroscience at the University of Oxford. He received a series of research prizes and distinctions such as being elected to the Global Futures Council of the World Economic Forum and winning the Toyota Mobility Foundation $50,000 Research Discovery Prize in 2018. He co-authored the Cambridge University Press textbook "Mathematics for Machine Learning" which was inspired from his experiences in pioneering courses on Machine Learning for computer science, natural sciences and engineering students long before it became popular.

I've made several attempts to read this (and I know much of the material already) but trying to decipher the unnecessarily quasi-mathematical notation that makes simple concepts unclear got too wearying. I've ordered Aggarwal's "Linear Algebra and Optimization for Machine Learning". I hope that's better.


In the first few chapters (Part 1 of the book) there is a lot of skimming over the math which makes it difficult for me to learn. I have to spend more time looking at other sources to fill in the blanks.
Part 2 is a lot easier to read. I enjoyed these chapters a lot more.

Moreover, I absolutely love the 4cm margins at the outer edges of pages, as I like pencilling my notes in blank spaces or place sticky notes there. Helpful footnotes in the margins.
