6 Must-read books about AI and Machine Learning:
Sharing some free, useful resources for you. In this collection, we’ve gathered the most recent books to give you up-to-date information on key fundamental topics. Hope this helps you master AI and machine learning:
1. Machine Learning Systems by Vijay Janapa Reddi → https://www.mlsysbook.ai/
Provides a framework for building effective ML solutions, covering data engineering, optimization, hardware-aware training, inference acceleration, architecture choice, and other key principles
2. Generative Diffusion Modeling: A Practical Handbook by Zihan Ding, Chi Jin → https://arxiv.org/abs/2412.17162
Offers a unified view of diffusion models: probabilistic, score-based, consistency, rectified flow, pre/post-training. It aligns notations with code to close the “paper-to-code” gap.
3. Geometric Deep Learning: Grids, Groups, Graphs, Geodesics, and Gauges → https://arxiv.org/abs/2104.13478
Explores unified geometric principles to analyze neural networks' architectures: CNNs, RNNs, GNNs, Transformers, and guide the design of the future ones
4. Mathematical Foundations of Geometric Deep Learning by Haitz Saez de Ocariz Borde and Michael Bronstein → https://arxiv.org/abs/2508.02723
Dives into the the key math concepts behind geometric Deep Learning: geometric and analytical structures, vector calculus, differential geometry, etc.
5. Interpretable Machine Learning by Christoph Molnar → https://github.com/christophM/interpretable-ml-book
Practical guide to simple, transparent models (e.g., decision trees) and model-agnostic methods like LIME, Shapley values, permutation importance, and accumulated local effects.
6. Understanding Deep Learning by Simon J.D. Prince → https://udlbook.github.io/udlbook/
Explores core deep learning concenpts: models, training, evaluation, RL, architectures for images, text, and graphs, addressing open theoretical questions
