2.5 rounded up (although could have rounded down).

Machine Learning for Beginners Guide Algorithms covers basic concepts of machine learning, including an introduction to supervised and unsupervised learning, with a focus on decision trees and random forests (I mean, the title says it all).

I got what I needed out of this book, which was an elementary understanding of the benefits and limitations of random forest algorithms, and a little bit more detail cementing what I knew about supervised and unsupervised learning. However, while the book provides a basic understanding of these topics, the coverage is uneven—some sections dive deep into complex details, while others barely scratch the surface. It’s helpful for a foundational grasp (in most cases), but more consistency of explanations (and even moving some of the really complex detail to an appendix) would really improve the readability and usefulness of this book.

A good non-technical discussion on decision trees and random forests that might be useful for beginners. The positive aspect of the book is that is it free of any tech jargon but the negative aspect is that to compensate for it, the book could have used diagrams to help the reader better understand those concepts, and more examples.

Patchy Content

Mostly a solid overview of machine learning and AI the content is frustratingly superficial in places and assumes prior knowledge in others.

[Fabricio Echeverría]

It's simple and too explained

Learned a little - most of the book I already knew. Not that interesting.

1.9/5
