This graduate-level non-fiction text offers a rigorous, research-driven look at probabilistic machine learning. It centers on deep learning, Bayesian inference, generative models, and decision making under uncertainty, and is aimed at researchers and graduate students who want to connect cutting-edge methods with solid statistical foundations. The tone is educational, challenging, and inspiring. The content is presented as a comprehensive, theory-to-application framework. Chapters weave formal modeling with practical demonstrations, and an online Python code accompaniment lets readers experiment with real datasets. Contributions from leading researchers and domain experts from organizations like Google, DeepMind, Amazon, and top universities provide perspectives on deep generative modeling, graphical models, reinforcement learning, and causal inference within a unified probabilistic framework. Readers move through the material by following mathematical derivations and applying concepts through code, experiments, and concise case studies. The book stands out by placing deep learning in a broader statistical context, showing how probabilistic modeling, inference, and causal reasoning inform modern ML. Complex ideas are presented with clear progression from intuition to formal treatment, making advanced topics accessible to serious, motivated learners. - Key content elements: deep
