Want to tap the power behind search rankings, product recommendations, social bookmarking, and online matchmaking? This fascinating book demonstrates how you can build Web 2.0 applications to mine the enormous amount of data created by people on the Internet. With the sophisticated algorithms in this book, you can write smart programs to access interesting datasets from other web sites, collect data from users of your own applications, and analyze and understand the data once you've found it. Programming Collective Intelligence takes you into the world of machine learning and statistics, and explains how to draw conclusions about user experience, marketing, personal tastes, and human behavior in general -- all from information that you and others collect every day. Each algorithm is described clearly and concisely with code that can immediately be used on your web site, blog, Wiki, or specialized application. This book explains: Collaborative filtering techniques that enable online retailers to recommend products or media Methods of clustering to detect groups of similar items in a large dataset Search engine features -- crawlers, indexers, query engines, and the PageRank algorithm Optimization algorithms that search millions of possible solutions to a problem and choose the best one Bayesian filtering, used in spam filters for classifying documents based on word types and other features Using decision trees not only to make predictions, but to model the way decisions are made Predicting numerical values rather than classifications to build price models Support vector machines to match people in online dating sites Non-negative matrix factorization to find the independent features in adataset Evolving intelligence for problem solving -- how a computer develops its skill by improving its own code the more it plays a game Each chapter includes exercises for extending the algorithms to make them more powerful. Go beyond simple database-backed applications and put the wealth of Internet data to work for you. "Bravo I cannot think of a better way for a developer to first learn these algorithms and methods, nor can I think of a better way for me (an old AI dog) to reinvigorate my knowledge of the details." -- Dan Russell, Google "Toby's book does a great job of breaking down the complex subject matter of machine-learning algorithms into practical, easy-to-understand examples that can be directly applied to analysis of social interaction across the Web today. If I had this book two years ago, it would have saved precious time going down some fruitless paths." -- Tim Wolters, CTO, Collective Intellect

事隔几年,重拾这本书

记得第一次读这本书的时候,是刚毕业在第一家小公司工作,虽然当时只是做Web,但是作为十人团队中少有的还有那么点数学基础的人,无可避免地把一些简单的非工程化的东西接了过来。当时有一个小任务是来做喜欢xxx的人也喜欢xxx,老大就把这本集体智慧编程扔给了我,说看这本书,然后看看能不能把这个做出来,当时我...

夸的人太多了,我来中和以下

这本书还不错的,很适合数学基础不算太好(当然也还是要一定的数学基础),又想了解数据挖掘这个领域的读者。或者有实际的项目需求,但又没有足够的时间去深入了解这个领域的实践者。不过我每次看到有人说它把艰涩的数学讲的很通俗、进而认为那些写满数学公式的书是故弄玄虚这样的说法时就觉得很反胃口。但这种说法很普遍,...
