Foundations of Machine Learning is unique in its focus on the analysis and theory of algorithms. The first four chapters lay the theoretical foundation for what follows, subsequent chapters are mostly self-contained. Topics covered include the Probably Approximately Correct (PAC) learning framework, generalization bounds based on Rademacher complexity and VC-dimension, Support Vector Machines (SVMs), kernel methods, boosting, on-line learning, multi-class classification, ranking, regression, algorithmic stability, dimensionality reduction, learning automata and languages, and reinforcement learning. Each chapter ends with a set of exercises. Appendixes provide additional material including concise probability review. This second edition offers three new chapters, on model selection, maximum entropy models, and conditional entropy models. New material in the appendixes includes a major section on Fenchel duality, expanded coverage of concentration inequalities, and an entirely new entry on information theory. More than half of the exercises are new to this edition.
