This book provides a comprehensive foundation of machine learning. To answer the questions of what to learn, how to learn, what to get from learning, and how to evaluate, as well as what is meant by learning, the book focuses on the fundamental basics of machine learning, its methodology, theory, algorithms, and evaluations, together with some philosophical thinking on comparison between machine learning and human learning for machinery intelligence.The book is organized as follows: Introduction (Chapter 1), Evaluation (Chapter 2), Supervised learning (Chapters 3, 4, and 5), Unsupervised learning (Chapter 6), Representation learning (Chapter 7), Problem decomposition (Chapter 8), Ensemble learning (Chapter 9), Deep learning (Chapter 10), Application (Chapter 11), and Challenges (Chapter 12).The book can be used as a textbook for college, undergraduate, graduate and PhD students majored in computer science, automation, electronic engineering, communication, ect. It can also be used as

After a trip to Japan in 1953, Werner Bl酲er published his landmark book on Classical Japanese architecture. His studies of 17th-18th-century wooden buildings document minimalist, grid-based structures using stark black-and-white photographs, some color photographs and numerous line drawings. His book, highly prized in terms of design and content, contributed significantly to introducing Japanese aesthetics to Western architecture, art and graphics. Mies van der Rohe, for example, gave it to many of his friends.The reprint is enriched by a text on the history of the book by Christian Blaser, Werner Blaser's son, a contribution by Inge Andritz on Mies van der Rohe and Japanese architecture, and a personal afterword by Tadao And.
