Programming Algorithms for Web 2.0
I just got a copy of a very interesting book: “Programming Collective Intelligence“.
Admittedly the gratuitous use of “Web 2.0″ in the title is a bit misleading, the topic of the book is much more broad than that. It is really about programming techniques and algorithms that have to deal with analyzing data.
With so much data out there on the internet, the ability to analyze and categorize that data becomes a very interesting problem. Indeed there are entire companies that are devoted to doing just that. The book combines a lot of practical tools, and has a lot of sample source code, as well a discussion of some very important algorithms in this space: clustering, machine learning, bayesian classification.
