"The authors' clear visual style provides a comprehensive look at what's
currently possible with artificial neural networks as well as a glimpse
of the magic that's to come."
--Tim Urban, author of Wait But Why
Fully Practical, Insightful Guide to Modern Deep Learning
Deep learning is transforming software, facilitating powerful new
artificial intelligence capabilities, and driving unprecedented
algorithm performance. Deep Learning Illustrated is uniquely
intuitive and offers a complete introduction to the discipline's
techniques. Packed with full-color figures and easy-to-follow code, it
sweeps away the complexity of building deep learning models, making the
subject approachable and fun to learn.
World-class instructor and practitioner Jon Krohn--with visionary
content from Grant Beyleveld and beautiful illustrations by Aglaé
Bassens--presents straightforward analogies to explain what deep
learning is, why it has become so popular, and how it relates to other
machine learning approaches. Krohn has created a practical reference and
tutorial for developers, data scientists, researchers, analysts, and
students who want to start applying it. He illuminates theory with
hands-on Python code in accompanying Jupyter notebooks. To help you
progress quickly, he focuses on the versatile deep learning library
Keras to nimbly construct efficient TensorFlow models; PyTorch, the
leading alternative library, is also covered.
You'll gain a pragmatic understanding of all major deep learning
approaches and their uses in applications ranging from machine vision
and natural language processing to image generation and game-playing
algorithms.
