First Edition cover | Second edition cover |
The book is aimed at computer science and engineering undergraduates studing machine learning and artificial intelligence.
The table of contents for the second edition can be found here.
There are lots of Python/NumPy code examples in the book, and the code is available here. Datasets (either the actual data, or links to the appropriate resources) are given at the bottom of the page.
Note that the chapter headings and order below refer to the second edition. However, the titles of the chapters should enable users of the first edition to find the relevant sections.
All of the code is freely available to use (with appropriate attribution), but comes with no warranty of any kind.

Datasets
Many of the datasets used in the book are available from the UCI Machine Learning Repository. In particular, look for the Iris data, the Pima Indian data, the car safety data, the auto-mpg data, the wine data, and the mushroom data.Two of the most popular machine learning demonstration datasets are the MNIST set of zip code digits, which is available here, and the binary alpha digits dataset, which can be downloaded here. Finally, there are a couple of smaller datasets that are not available elsewhere, at least in their current form, and so should be downloaded from this website:
- The Palmerston North Ozone dataset
- Training data for the prostate dataset
- Test data for the prostate dataset (variables are log cancer volume, log prostate weight, age, lbph, svi, lcp, Gleason score, pgg45 and the last one is response lpsa)
- The Ruapehu dataset (thanks to Mark Bebbington)
- The Palmerston North ozone dataset
- Short version of the e. coli dataset
