Textbooks

Recommended textbooks: The lecture notes are collected as a jupyter-book at https://compphysics.github.io/MachineLearning/doc/LectureNotes/_build/html/intro.html. In addition to the electure notes, we recommend the books of Bishop and Goodfellow et al. We will follow these texts closely and the weekly reading assignments refer to these two texts.

• Christopher M. Bishop, Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning, Springer, https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780387310732. This is the main textbook and this course covers chapters 1-7, 11 and 12. You can download for free the textbook in PDF format at https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/research/uploads/prod/2006/01/Bishop-Pattern-Recognition-and-Machine-Learning-2006.pdf
• Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville. The different chapters are available for free at https://www.deeplearningbook.org/. Chapters 2-14 are highly recommended. The lectures follow to a larg extent this text. The weekly plans will include reading suggestions from these two textbooks. Additional textbooks:
• Trevor Hastie, Robert Tibshirani, Jerome H. Friedman, The Elements of Statistical Learning, Springer, https://www.springer.com/gp/book/9780387848570. This is a well-known text and serves as additional literature.
• Aurelien Geron, Hands‑On Machine Learning with Scikit‑Learn and TensorFlow, O'Reilly, https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/hands-on-machine-learning/9781492032632/. This text is very useful since it contains many code examples and hands-on applications of all algorithms discussed in this course.

General learning book on statistical analysis:

• Christian Robert and George Casella, Monte Carlo Statistical Methods, Springer
• Peter Hoff, A first course in Bayesian statistical models, Springer

General Machine Learning Books:

• Kevin Murphy, Machine Learning: A Probabilistic Perspective, MIT Press
• David J.C. MacKay, Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms, Cambridge University Press
