Next, I would recommend a good intro book on 'Data Mining' (data mining is essentially about extracting knowledge from data, mainly using machine learning algorithms). I can highly recommend the following book written by one of my former professors: Next, I would recommend a good intro book on 'Data Mining' (data mining is essentially about extracting knowledge from data, mainly using machine learning algorithms).

This book will provide you with a great overview of what's currently out there; you will not only learn about different machine learning techniques, but also learn how to "understand" and "handle" and interpret data -- remember; without "good," informative data, a machine learning algorithm is practically worthless. Additionally, you will learn about alternative techniques since machine learning is not always the only and best solution to a problem This book will provide you with a great overview of what's currently out there; you will not only learn about different machine learning techniques, but also learn how to "understand" and "handle" and interpret data -- remember; without "good," informative data, a machine learning algorithm is practically worthless.

I don't want to self-advertise here, but I think my book would be a good follow-up to learn ML in more depth, understand the algorithms, learn about different data processing pipelines and evaluation techniques, best practices, and learn how to put in into action using Python, NumPy, scikit-learn, and Theano so that you can start working on your personal projects.
