- An example of Dirichlet processes applied to computational cognitive science (language learning from statistical regularities in speech).
- An example of Dirichlet processes applied to individual differences.
- Any of the papers of Radford Neal.
- The PhD theses of Shane Jensen, Erik Sudderth, and Derek Blythe.
General Computational Neuroscience
- ELSC Youtube Channel Contains archived computational neuroscience seminars and lectures, including Dayan, Abbot, Pouget..., as well as physiology resources.
- Coursera Computational Neuroscience With instructors Rajesh Rao and Adrienne Fairhall.
- Reza Shadmehr lectures on motor control & learning
Information Theory
- A Tutorial for Information Theory in Neuroscience
- Information Theory, Inference, and Learning Algorithms - An excellent book that presents Bayesian inference and machine learning from the perspective of coding/information theory.
Machine Learning
Books
- Tom Mitchell's book
- Smola & Vishwanathan's book
- Daume's book
- Murphy's book
- Shalev-Shwartz & Ben-David's book
- Nilsson's book
