Description
Book SynopsisDeep Learning for Complete Beginners: A Python-Based Introduction is for complete beginners in machine learning. It introduces fundamental concepts such as classes and labels, building a dataset, and what a model is and does before presenting classic machine learning models, neural networks, and modern convolutional neural networks. Experiments in Python - working with leading open-source toolkits and standard datasets - give the reader hands-on experience with each model and help them build intuition about how to transfer the examples in the book to their own projects.
Trade Review"
Practical Deep Learning with Python is the perfect book for someone looking to break into deep learning. This book achieves an ideal balance between explaining prerequisite introductory material and exploring nuanced subtleties of the methods described. The reader will come away with a solid foundational understanding of the content as well as the practical knowledge required to apply the methods to real-world problems. Deep learning will continue to enable many breakthroughs in artificial intelligence applications and this book covers all that is needed to springboard into this exciting field."
—Matt Wilder, longtime neural network practitioner and owner of Wilder AI, a deep learning consulting company
"Kneusel’s book tackles machine learning (classification) fantastically, helping anyone with an interest to learn and turning that interest into a skillset for future machine learning projects."
