There is no magic in machine learning; instead there is an identifiable body of practical techniques that can extract useful information from raw data. Describing these techniques and showing how they work, this edition includes thirty technique sections; comprehensive information on neural networks; a section on Bayesian networks; and more.

Ian H. Witten is a professor of computer science at the University of Waikato in New Zealand. He directs the New Zealand Digital Library research project. His research interests include information retrieval, machine learning, text compression, and programming by demonstration. He received an MA in Mathematics from Cambridge University, England; an MSc in Computer Science from the University of Calgary, Canada; and a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Essex University, England. He is a fellow of the ACM and of the Royal Society of New Zealand. He has published widely on digital libraries, machine learning, text compression, hypertext, speech synthesis and signal processing, and computer typography. He has written several books, the latest being Managing Gigabytes (1999) and Data Mining (2000), both from Morgan Kaufmann. Eibe Frank is a researcher in the Machine Learning group at the University of Waikato. He holds a degree in computer science from the University of Karlsruhe in Germany and is the author of several papers, both presented at machine learning conferences and published in machine learning journals.

This book presents this new discipline in a very accessible form: both as a text to train the next generation of practitioners and researchers, and to inform lifelong learners like myself. Witten and Frank have a passion for simple and elegant solutions. They approach each topic with this mindset, grounding all concepts in concrete examples, and urging the reader to consider the simple techniques first, and then progress to the more sophisticated ones if the simple ones prove inadequate. If you have data that you want to analyze and understand, this book and the associated Weka toolkit are an excellent way to start. --From the foreword by Jim Gray, Microsoft Research
