Want to tap the power behind search rankings, product recommendations, social bookmarking, and online matchmaking? This fascinating book demonstrates how you can build Web 2.0 applications to mine the enormous amount of data created by people on the Internet. With the sophisticated algorithms in this book, you can write smart programs to access interesting datasets from other web sites, collect data from users of your own applications, and analyze and understand the data once you've found it. Programming Collective Intelligence takes you into the world of machine learning and statistics, and explains how to draw conclusions about user experience, marketing, personal tastes, and human behavior in general -- all from information that you and others collect every day. Each algorithm is described clearly and concisely with code that can immediately be used on your web site, blog, Wiki, or specialized application. This book explains: * Collaborative filtering techniques that enable online retailers to recommend products or media * Methods of clustering to detect groups of similar items in a large dataset * Search engine features -- crawlers, indexers, query engines, and the PageRank algorithm * Optimization algorithms that search millions of possible solutions to a problem and choose the best one * Bayesian filtering, used in spam filters for classifying documents based on word types and other features * Using decision trees not only to make predictions, but to model the way decisions are made * Predicting numerical values rather than classifications to build price models * Support vector machines to match people in online dating sites * Non-negative matrix factorization to find the independent features in a dataset * Evolving intelligence for problem solving -- how a computer develops its skill by improving its own code the more it plays a game Each chapter includes exercises for extending the algorithms to make them more powerful. Go beyond simple database-backed applications and put the wealth of Internet data to work for you. "Bravo! I cannot think of a better way for a developer to first learn these algorithms and methods, nor can I think of a better way for me (an old AI dog) to reinvigorate my knowledge of the details." -- Dan Russell, Google "Toby's book does a great job of breaking down the complex subject matter of machine-learning algorithms into practical, easy-to-understand examples that can be directly applied to analysis of social interaction across the Web today. If I had this book two years ago, it would have saved precious time going down some fruitless paths." -- Tim Wolters, CTO, Collective Intellect
中国有句老话,叫做“知易行难”。 作算法的朋友应该更有体会,想把 paper 上的公式转变为可以运行的代码,这是件考验功力的事情。 Toby Segaran 写的这本《Programming Collective Intelligence》,是修炼此种功力的武林秘笈之一。 这本书最显著的特点是,实战性极强! 针对...
评分花了很长时间,终于断断续续地坚持把《Programming Collective Intelligence》给读完了。作者用非常直观的方式向读者展示了人工智能和机器学习中的大量经典的算法。更可贵的是,作者在展示算法时所使用的例子都是Internet中非常有代表性的场景,并且很多情况下还会结合一些...
评分好书,介绍一些常用算法的使用方法,如神经网络,支持向量机,模拟退火,遗传算法等.对普通读者已经够了.能将这些算法用熟,就能开发出非常好的应用程序来。 缺少当今最流行的小波和独立分量分析,当然不可能有最新的变分贝叶斯理论.对研究算法且用于应用开发的人来说可以是一个好实...
评分记得第一次读这本书的时候,是刚毕业在第一家小公司工作,虽然当时只是做Web,但是作为十人团队中少有的还有那么点数学基础的人,无可避免地把一些简单的非工程化的东西接了过来。当时有一个小任务是来做喜欢xxx的人也喜欢xxx,老大就把这本集体智慧编程扔给了我,说看这本书,...
评分上周50周年系庆的时候 张钹 院士说了这样一句话:”人工智能以前大多基于经验和领域知识,直到上万上亿的数据出现时,基于数据的人工智能更有了广阔的天空。”《集体智慧》就是这样一本告诉你如何从数据中挖掘金矿的经典之作。 由于现在所从事的是信息检索,文本挖掘方面的研究...
pdf, 读的不算太仔细. 不过入门应该没问题了.
评分很好的书,简单的事例讲明白算法的原理。具体的python实现就不要学了,代码写的一般。
评分优化Optimization和遗传算法两章讲的很生动。这本书的代码风格是教程式的,代码被拆分成了很多小段,每一小段都可以直接运行,方便你理解算法思想和自己写代码。最后的算法总结也十分实用,方便查找。这个书适合作为入门书,让你了解大量应用、Python API、算法,培养兴趣又开阔视野。美中不足是本书没有给扩展阅读,如果有的话就给他五星。
