Algorithms in a Nutshell

Book Description

Creating robust requires the use of efficient algorithms, but programmers seldom think about them until a problem occurs. Algorithms in a describes a large number of existing algorithms for solving a variety of problems, and helps you select and implement the right for your needs — with just enough math to let you understand and analyze .

With its focus on application, rather than theory, this book provides efficient code solutions in several languages that you can easily adapt to a specific project. Each major is presented in the style of a design pattern that includes information to help you understand why and when the is appropriate.

With this book, you will:

  • Solve a particular coding problem or improve on the of an existing solution
  • Quickly locate algorithms that relate to the problems you want to solve, and determine why a particular algorithm is the right one to use
  • Get algorithmic solutions in , ++, , and with implementation tips
  • Learn the expected performance of an algorithm, and the conditions it needs to perform at its best
  • Discover the impact that similar design decisions have on different algorithms
  • Learn advanced data structures to improve the efficiency of algorithms

With Algorithms in a , you’ll learn improve the performance of key algorithms essential for the success of your applications.

Programming Collective Intelligence

Book Description

Want to tap the power behind search rankings, product recommendations, social bookmarking, and online matchmaking? This fascinating book demonstrates how you can build applications to mine the enormous amount of data created by people on the . With the sophisticated algorithms in this book, you can write smart programs to access interesting datasets from other web sites, collect data from users of your own applications, and analyze and understand the data once you’ve found it.

Collective Intelligence takes you into the world of learning and , and explains draw conclusions about user experience, marketing, personal tastes, and human behavior in general — all from information that you and others collect every day. Each is described clearly and concisely with code that can immediately be used on your web site, blog, Wiki, or specialized application. This book explains:

  • Collaborative filtering techniques that enable online retailers to recommend products or
  • Methods of clustering to detect groups of similar items in a large dataset
  • features — crawlers, indexers, query engines, and the PageRank
  • Optimization algorithms that search millions of possible solutions to a problem and choose the best one
  • Bayesian filtering, used in spam filters for classifying documents based on word types and other features
  • Using decision trees not only to make predictions, but to model the way decisions are made
  • Predicting numerical values rather than classifications to build price models
  • Support vector machines to match people in online dating sites
  • Non-negative matrix factorization to find the independent features in a dataset
  • Evolving intelligence for problem solving — how a develops its skill by improving its own code the more it plays a game

Each chapter includes exercises for extending the algorithms to make them more powerful. Go beyond simple -backed applications and put the wealth of data to work for you.

“Bravo! I cannot think of a better way for a developer to first learn these algorithms and methods, nor can I think of a better way for me (an old AI dog) to reinvigorate my knowledge of the details.”
– Dan Russell,

“Toby’s book does a great job of breaking down the complex subject matter of -learning algorithms into practical, easy-to-understand examples that can be directly applied to of social interaction across the Web today. If I had this book two years ago, it would have saved precious time going down some fruitless paths.”
