This completely new textbook provides a comprehensive introduction to
the fields of pattern recognition and machine learning. It is aimed at
advanced undergraduates or first-year PhD students, as well as
researchers and practitioners. No previous knowledge of pattern
recognition or machine learning concepts is assumed. This is the first
machine learning textbook to include a comprehensive coverage of recent
developments such as probabilistic graphical models and deterministic
inference methods, and to emphasize a modern Bayesian perspective. The
book is suitable for courses on machine learning, statistics, computer
science, signal processing, computer vision, data mining, and
bioinformatics, and extensive support is provided for course
instructors.
