Praise for Programming Collective Intelligence

“I review a few books each year, and naturally, I read a fair number during the course of

my work. And I have to admit that I have never had quite as much fun reading a

preprint of a book as I have in reading this. 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, Uber Tech Lead, Google

“Toby’s book does a great job of breaking down the complex subject matter of machine-

learning algorithms into practical, easy-to-understand examples that can be used directly

to analyze social interaction across the Web today. If I had this book two years ago, it

would have saved me precious time going down some fruitless paths.”

— Tim Wolters, CTO, Collective Intellect

“ Programming Collective Intelligence is a stellar achievement in providing a comprehensive

collection of computational methods for relating vast amounts of data. Specifically, it

applies these techniques in context of the Internet, finding value in otherwise isolated data

islands. If you develop for the Internet, this book is a must-have.”

— Paul Tyma, Senior Software Engineer, Google
