A First Encounter with Machine Learning
by Max Welling
Publisher: University of California Irvine 2011
Number of pages: 93
Description:
The book you see before you is meant for those starting out in the field of machine learning, who need a simple, intuitive explanation of some of the most useful algorithms that our field has to offer. A first read to wet the appetite so to speak, a prelude to the more technical and advanced text books.

Modeling Agents with Probabilistic Programs
by Owain Evans, et al. - AgentModels.org
This book describes and implements models of rational agents for (PO)MDPs and Reinforcement Learning. One motivation is to create richer models of human planning, which capture human biases. The book assumes basic programming experience.
