Machine Learning book written by machine learning

Retraction Watch: Springer Nature book on machine learning is full of made-up citations

Based on a tip from a reader, we checked 18 of the 46 citations in the book. Two-thirds of them either did not exist or had substantial errors. And three researchers cited in the book confirmed the works they supposedly authored were fake or the citation contained substantial errors.

But, hey, at only $169 for the ebook and $219 for the hardcover, it's not like you can expect Govindakumar Madhavan's Mastering Machine Learning: From Basics to Advanced to actually, I don't know, refer to reality or some such bullshit?

Via Pivot to AI.
