The Pumpkin Book is an open-source companion guide that explains and derives the formulas skipped in Zhou Zhihua's classic machine-learning textbook (the 'Watermelon Book'). It is maintained by Datawhale and available as PDF releases, a printed edition, and video tutorials.
Use cases
- understand formula derivations in the watermelon book
- learn machine learning math fundamentals
- supplement self-study of Zhou Zhihua's ML textbook
- find step-by-step derivations for ML equations
- study machine learning with undergraduate-level math
When to choose
- you are reading the Watermelon Book and get stuck on a derivation
- you want a free, community-maintained ML math companion
- you prefer derivations explained with undergraduate-level math
When to avoid
- you want a standalone ML textbook rather than a companion
- you need a rigorous graduate-level treatment of the math
- you cannot read Chinese
