The Hundred Page Machine Learning Book

I couldn’t have asked for a denser review of such a technical and diverse domain. It’d been more a year since I graduated (majored in computer science and minored in artificial intelligence) and so I decided to brush up on some basics and consolidate what I’d studying since the past ~4 years.

I also picked up the book to systematically populate my org-roam buffer and have my root node rooted here in the braindump.

Do note that I avoid noting concepts down verbatim and always try to write stuff down the way I’d like to formulate it for my future self.

I wouldn’t particularly recommend this for beginners (a more pedagogically friendly course is a better intro to such a dense field : I personally began properly with the Fast.AI series but there’s many more respectable intros out there) but would rate it as an extremely useful revision index into the domain.

When researching/working in the industry, one usually delves into a particular subdomain. That’s necessary and all but this book did help me in forming a better bigger picture of the field and did so very quickly to be honest : I log my work sessions with the org-mode timing system and it took me around 14 hours to read the book from end to end while formulating my notes in the brain dump.

I do want to get onto some more academically inclined reads soon - a little busy with work and personal pursuits as of now to continue with a dense and large read right away.
