<i>I&#x27;m curious about that book (The Master Algorithm): I began reading it, but stopped early because I got the impression it would be too &quot;entry-level&quot; for me, thus a waste of my time. Should I consider keeping on with it, and why?</i><p>It&#x27;s hard to say.  It&#x27;s not a deeply technical book, I will say that.  The main value I found in it, is that he covers a broad base of different techniques and then lays out some ideas on how they could all be combined to make a &quot;general purpose learner&quot;.  I found it worth reading, but YMMV.
