One of the authors of Learning from Data, Hsuan-Tien Lin, just started a Coursera course on Machine Learning taught in Mandarin Chinese (with English slides).
One thing I really like about Learning from Data is that it gives Machine Learning a certain "framework" instead of just being a hodgepodge of different techniques. The book is quite clear on the mathematical underpinnings, while at the same time introducing various "rules of thumb" for practical considerations.
