Re: [PLUG] OT: Good Books on Machine Learning?
|
If you are interested in machine learning in theory Connectionism and the
Mind is an excellent book. It is a good introduction to connectionest
theory which I believe is where the future of AI lies. It is by Bechtel and
Abrahamsen. I read it for a class I took on Artificial Intelligence.
