Machine learning self-learning book?
I am a researcher on Machine Learning and I generally try to refer to Andrew Moore's Tutorials and Simon Haykin's Neural Networks.
I am looking for a book which works in some detail with easy language and good exercises and recent concepts.
My problem is I have a Humanities background, and I always ask questions.
I am thinking of the book by Christopher M. Bishop / Andrew Ng's Tutorial. Are they fine? Or do you have any other suggestion?
I generally prefer a downloadable version.
