Here I want to present my new book on advanced algorithms for data-intensive applications named "Probabilistic Data Structures and Algorithms in Big Data Applications" (ISBN: 9783748190486). The detailed information about the book you can find at its webpage and below I give you some introduction to the topic this book is about.…

The drafts of the two final chapters of The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book are now online. They consider metric learning, learning to rank, learning to recommend (including factorization machines and denoising autoencoders), and word embeddings.

The book is now complete and I'm so happy about…

My new book may be of interest to some members.

If you're a regular visitor to our website you'll know that every month we scour the internet seeking out free eBooks to help you on your educational journey. Well, it has been so popular that we decided to create a regular monthly series here at Data Science Central.



I hope this will prove to be a valuable resource to you that you will visit regularly (and invite your friends too).…

Did you have a good, relaxing break over the summer? Are you refreshed and re-energised, looking forward to a new start, a new you and brushing up on your data analysis skills? If so, I’ve thrown together a collection of a few excellent (and free!) statistics eBooks for your Kindle to sharpen up your stats while you’re on the long commute to work. Just try not to read them while driving!

These books require different levels of existing knowledge, and while some are for…

It’s been a rather quiet summer on Data Science Central with fewer blog posts being published than at other times of the year, but I guess it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise – DSC has had to compete against summer holidays, the Euro 2016 football tournament and the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Of the relatively few that have been published, there have been a few gems. At the time of writing, the 5 blog posts on this list have been read by almost 60,000 of you.

If you haven’t seen any…
