Additional Material

Everybody has a different way of learning. The methods used in course may prove to be just your style, or not. Therefore the best way to learn this stuff is to draw on a variety of sources. There are lots of other Machine Learning courses in other Universities round the world. Here are just a few that you may like to draw on - to give you a different perspective on the material you will see in this course.

If you'd like to buy a book, I highly recommend Introduction to Machine Learning by Ethem Alpaydin.
