“The style of the book, with its numerous examples, exercises and references, recommends it for a broad audience from students to researchers. The style is comprehensive, yet approachable, and the incremental increase in difficulty, strengthened by the ties with previous chapters, makes it easy to go back and forth between concepts and adapts the theoretical aspects to a wide variety of machine learning tasks.” (Irina Ioana Mohorianu, zbMATH 1555.68003, 2025)
