This weeks Data Science Book is " The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book " by Andriy Burkov. In this short book (despite the title, it in at 160 pages, but we won’t hold it against it) Burkov provides a high level overview of a broad range of Machine Learning topics that will appeal to beginners and perspective students who wish to get a quick survey of the breadth of possibilities afforded by ML algorithms before diving more deeply into the subject. While the book won’t convert you into a ML expert overnight, it does provide enough information and references to get you started and armed with enough baggage to be able to choose your own path. Another audience that will find the book useful is that of managers and those collaborating with data scientists and who need a solid understanding on the basics of this class of algorithms.
