Hall of fame
The following is a hall of fame of papers, books, and blog posts that have a very high signal to noise ratio – at least in my book. I highly recommend reading some of them when you get time.
- The Elements of Statistical Learning - Jerome H. Friedman, Robert Tibshirani, and Trevor Hastie
- Machine Learning - Tom Mitchell – I think this wonderful textbook is under-appreciated.

- mlcourse.ai – Of all the introductions to machine learning I think this is the one that strikes the best balance between theory and practice.
- Machine learning cheat sheets - Shervine Amidi
- Kalman and Bayesian Filters in Python - Roger Labbe – Kalman filters are notoriously hard to grok, this tutorial nicely builds up the steps to understanding them.
