Prof Yaser S. Abu-Mostafa's Caltech course "Learning from Data" (http://work.caltech.edu/telecourse) is probably the best introductory course for really understanding the physics of how machine learning works.

See Prof's Yaser's 1 min overview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KlP0DpiM7Lw

The "Learning from Data Book" videos are online for free, and the book is on Amazon...

The course is also availble on EdX: https://www.edx.org/course/caltechx/cs1156x/learning-data/11...

I've got the book. It's a great book, even though the Machine Learning course here at Technion is more Bayesian than AML's seemingly PAC and VC-focused book.
