Translated into 11 languages and used in thousands of universities worldwide, this book takes a unique approach: it assumes that your time is valuable. Instead of drowning you in theory or skimming the surface, it delivers a complete education in modern machine learning, focusing on what matters in practice. From fundamental algorithms that form the backbone of many applications, to cutting-edge deep learning and neural networks, you'll understand how these tools work and how to use them. What sets this book apart is its careful progression through key concepts. You'll start with essential mathematical concepts and gradually progress through the most practically important machine learning algorithms. You'll learn practical skills like feature engineering, regularization, handling imbalanced datasets, ensembles, and model evaluation that help turn theory into working systems. The book covers not just supervised learning, but also clustering, topic modeling, metric learning, learning to rank, and recommendation systems, giving you a complete toolkit for solving modern machine learning challenges. This isn't just another theoretical textbook. Every chapter reflects the author's real-world experience, focusing on techniques that work in practice. Whether you're building a recommendation system, analyzing customer data, or working with images and text, you'll find practical guidance here. This isn't a high-level overview either. The book explores each concept with precisely the right level of technical detail—enough to create those crucial "a-ha!" moments of understanding, but not so much that you get overwhelmed by mathematical notation or theoretical abstractions. It hits that sweet spot where complex ideas click into place naturally, making it valuable for both newcomers looking to build a strong foundation and experienced practitioners seeking to expand their toolkit. What's Inside Supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms, including deep neural networks Clear, intuitive explanations of algorithms and mathematics that preserve essential details Practical techniques for building, debugging, and evaluating models Advanced topics including ensembles, recommender systems, and metric learning About the Reader The book assumes a basic foundation in college-level mathematics. However, it's entirely self-contained, introducing all necessary mathematical concepts through intuitive explanations. This approach ensures that readers with basic mathematical knowledge can follow along without getting lost in complex equations. Endorsements Peter Norvig , Research Director at Google , co-author of AIMA, the most popular AI textbook in the world: "Burkov has undertaken a very useful but impossibly hard task in reducing all of machine learning to 100 pages. He succeeds well in choosing the topics — both theory and practice — that will be useful to practitioners, and for the reader who understands that this is the first 100 (or actually 150) pages you will read, not the last, provides a solid introduction to the field." Aurélien Géron , Senior AI Engineer, author of the bestseller Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn, Keras, and TensorFlow: "The breadth of topics the book covers is amazing for just 100 pages (plus few bonus pages!). Burkov doesn't hesitate to go into the math equations: that's one thing that short books usually drop. I really liked how the author explains the core concepts in just a few words. The book can be very useful for newcomers in the field, as well as for old-timers who can gain from such a broad view of the field."

I promise to be 100% honest in how I feel about this book, both the good and the less so. Overview: This book does exactly what it states. It's a 100+ page book that gives you an overview of machine learning, the math behind most of the reviewed techniques so you can follow along with current research to an extent), and QR code links to further reading. The author also follows a 'read first, buy later' policy, which I respect. The book is very well organized, giving the reader an introduction and discussion on the mathematical notation used, a well written chapter that discusses several very common algorithms, talks about best practices (like feature engineering, breaking up the data into multiple sets, and tuning the model's hyperparameters), digs deeper into supervised learning, discusses unsupervised learning, and gives you a taste of a variety of other related topics. What I Like: This is a well rounded book, far more so than most books I've read on machine learning or artificial intelligence. After reading through this, I feel like I can competently discuss the subject, read one of the simpler machine learning research papers, and not be totally lost on the mathematics involved. The language used is concise and reads very well, showing very tight editing. What I Didn't Care For: I know that this is a general introduction and meant to be kept short. Like many other reviewers, however, I would have enjoyed a deeper look into everything that was in this book. What I Would Like To See: I know that the author is currently writing a data engineering book without the 100 page limitation. Personally, I would like to see him write a ML Math book (I'm weird like that) as well as an MLOps book. I expect the later to be what he writes next, if he chooses to continue writing. Overall, I got a LOT out of this book and look forward to more. I am giving a rating of 4.8 out of 5. If I include the wiki and further reading, I would bump it up to 4.9. Review: If you are interested in Machine Learning you should 100% read this book - I've gone through different books, papers and courses on ML and Artificial intelligence, and I've found that a majority of them are either overwhelmingly dense, or disappointingly shallow, with very few of them hitting any sort of sweet spot. This book is one of the few exceptions. Despite being short, it manages to cover a lot of ground without sacrificing a fair treatment of the basics. There's an exceptionally good balance between math and concepts in my opinion, and it's all explained in very simple terms, without ever feeling pretentious or cryptic. I think the author did an outstanding job distilling a great deal of useful information into 100-ish pages while avoiding making this a dense read. It's actually the only book I've been able to breeze through while still getting a lot of useful insights in the process. In fact, even though I already had some experience on the field when I read this book, I found that the way some concepts and topics are presented provided me with a new way of approaching them or thinking about them that further deepened my understanding of those topics, and allowed me to explore them in ways I had not done before. I wish this book existed when I started learning ML. It would have made a lot of thing clearer from the start. All in all; This book is a fantastic resource that serves as a perfect introduction to the topic for beginners, and a good "refresher" and a source of invaluable tips and insights for the more experienced ML practitioners. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #67,904 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #12 in Machine Theory (Books) #43 in Artificial Intelligence (Books) #183 in Artificial Intelligence & Semantics | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,324 Reviews | ## Images ![The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book (The Hundred-Page Books) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51XgdTo3xrL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Concise Overview to Get You Started *by K***R on February 19, 2020* Disclaimer: The author asked me to review this book, though I had already purchased my own copy.
