Probabilistic Machine Learning Textbook for the lectures.
Hello Folks,
When I started teaching my free online lectures, on Machine Learning, the intent was to help learners understand the topics of Machine Learning in a simple and digestible manner.
When I was a first time learner, started my grad program, books as Probabilistic Machine Learning by Murphy, Bishop, were told to us as excellent text books for Machine Learning, yet seemed always very difficult to read and understand.
To work around that, I started making content based on these foundational textbooks. We covered Introductory concepts, Probabilities and Statistics.
Slowly I started understanding, that the difficulty is faced not just by me, but all the learners. Hence the need.
I do hope that learners will see the importance of core foundational concepts, which are the pillars for modern machine learning, and Probabilistic Machine Learning is that core pillar, without which ML always seemed to me to be some blackbox.
