on “Ask HN: Building a domain-specific search engine. Advice, experiences?” ↗the 2 books on amazon's Bought This Item Also Bought" blurb are more rigorous, and quite useful books, also covering topics like Lucene/SOLR with full java code listsings: Algorithms of the Intelligent Web by H. Marmanis Collective Intelligence in Action by Satnam Alag
on “Ask HN: I want to learn statistics and data mining” ↗Programming collective intelligence is good book, but Algorithms of the intelligent web is much more deeper and better book.
on “Ask HN: I want to build/learn something this weekend - suggestions?” ↗I also bougth collective intelligence in action and algorithms of the intelligent web. Both are books from manning.com. I love those 2 books more than programming collective intelligence because I find them more complete and as easy to read.
on “A Good Read: Machine Learning and Web2.0” ↗…some combination of Java, Python, C++ and/or R, you'll be in good shape from a programming language standpoint. Check out http://mloss.org/software/ also. Some good books to get started with include: Algorithms of the Intelligent Web[4] Programming Collective Intelligence[5] Collective Intelligence In Action[6] Stanford make a great series of lectures[7] available online that you might find useful.

on “Advice for AI aspirations?” ↗…displaying on a map. A stackoverflow post mentioned the book, so I pulled it out and was wowed! Great stuff so far. I like that the code is in python, which I find easier to read than the java examples in Algorithms of the Intelligent Web. Being a perl guy (and a perl shop), python feels pretty similar and it's easy to port anything I need. If the rest of the book is as good as the clustering chapter, it's going to be a fun treat for my…
