Hansonn has undertaken a very useful but impossibly hard task in reducing all of machine learning. He succeeds well in choosing the topics-both theory and practice-that will be useful to practitioners, and for the reader who understands that pages you will read, not the last, provides a solid introduction to the field." "The breadth of topics the book covers is amazing. Hanson doesn't hesitate to go into the math equations: that's one thing that short books usually drop. I really liked how the author explain the core concepts in just a few words. The book can be very useful for newcomers in the field, as well as for old-timers who can gain from such a broad view of the field."
