Simple Machines

LEGO has come a long way from the days of simple square bricks, and many still associate LEGO with their various playsets. For those that want more advanced building, some LEGO enthusiasts prefer the Technic sets, which feature beams, axles, gears, and other mechanized parts that can be powered and programmed to make fairly complex machines.

Machine learning techniques provide cost-effective alternatives to traditional methods for extracting underlying relationships between information and data and for predicting future events by processing existing information to train models. Efficient Learning Machines explores the major topics of machine learning, including knowledge discovery, classifications, genetic algorithms, neural networking, kernel methods, and biologically-inspired techniques.
