- ⭐ Top 10 algorithms in data mining by Xindong Wu et al I found this 2007 paper really interesting as it was my starting point. The written explanations of the ML tools are not written for beginners in mind, however I feel that it provides a look into which tools are commonly used (as of 2007) and still important overall. I might suggest pulling out the Algos and investigating them in conjunction with other literature.
