This is a must have/ must read book for any person who want to make a career in AI, Machine Learning, BigData, Analytics or ComputerVision. It is so well written and makes your fundamental ideas very clear. It can be your first and the only book you need to read to get strong foundation.

Someone, reduce size of books. We don't need more exponentially growing information, we need faster and better explanations. Usually it can be done in few pages for each concept.

A very well written book. It is easy to follow/understand and introduces a lot of the research done in statistical machine learning and pattern recognition in the last few decades.

Probably the best stats book that I’ve read. Better than ESL!

My ratings of books on Goodreads are solely a crude ranking of their utility to me, and not an evaluation of literary merit, entertainment value, social importance, humor, insightfulness, scientific accuracy, creative vigor, suspensefulness of plot, depth of characters, vitality of theme, excitement of climax, satisfaction of ending, or any other combination of dimensions of value which we are expected to boil down through some fabulous alchemy into a single digit.

Great introduction to pattern recognition/classification, but it is sometimes poorly-organized.

This one is a good book about pattern classification, but have to say it is no easy book, unless you are very familiar with the topic.

I have both the old, first edition and the second edition. The first edition was ahead of its time, and expensive but useful. The second was a tidy book surrounded by many with similar content.
