Just came across this neat resource while looking for an MCMC / Gibbs sampling code example in object recognition. Self-description of the book:
This textbook on the mathematics of data has two intended audiences:
- For students majoring in math or other quantitative fields like physics, economics, engineering, etc.: it is meant as an invitation to data science and AI from a rigorous mathematical perspective.
- For mathematically-inclined students in data science related fields (at the undergraduate or graduate level): it can serve as a mathematical companion to machine learning, AI, and statistics courses.
Not yet published, but you can check it out here.
