About the Book

Artificial Intelligence is one of the most exciting technologies of the century, and Deep Learning is in many ways the 'brain' behind some of the world's smartest Artificial Intelligence systems out there. Loosely based on neuron behavior inside of human brains, these systems are rapidly catching up with the intelligence of their human creators, defeating the world champion Go player, achieving superhuman performance on video games, driving cars, translating languages, and sometimes even helping law enforcement fight crime. Deep Learning is a revolution that is changing every industry across the globe.

About the Reader

Written for readers with high school-level math and intermediate programming skills. Experience with Calculus is helpful but not required.

What's Inside:

How neural networks 'learn'
You will build neural networks that can see and understand images
You will build neural networks that can translate text between languages and even write like Shakespeare
You will build neural networks that can learn how to play videogames

Great book to learn ML

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023

Verified Purchase

This book came highly recommended to me by a colleague at work. I and others at work have agreed that it's a great primer to learn how machine learning works and how to build your first model. It walks through every step and detail with examples, code, and visuals to bring it all together.

Excellent Introduction to the Subject

Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2022

Verified Purchase

Andrew W. Trask has reminded me that most of us need to know more about Deep Learning. His book is a great way for people to get up to speed on the basics. His explanations are clear and fairly easy to digest. I like that he addresses several known issues with deep learning while providing many useful examples. While this may not be the best book for people with a Ph. D. in mathematics, it's a great introduction for the rest of us. Enjoy!

I rarely write reviews, but I have to here. This is an excellent book. It's concise, clear, and does an excellent job of conveying understanding and intuition. Having read bits and pieces about neutral networks over the years, I'm glad I picked up this book and gained conceptual understanding.

A good introductory book for getting you started into Deep Learning and AI in general

Reviewed in the United States on November 30, 2021

Verified Purchase

I'm going to be brief and list the good and the bad.

* Good:
1- Easy to read (one of the best books to get you started)
2- Hands on approach to implementing Neural networks
3- Some introduction to popular AI libraries such as Numpy
4- Good guidance on next steps

* Bad:
1- Syntax and coding problems that are easy to detect by a trained eye but not as easy for a novice learner
2- Some typographical errors throughout the book

I have to clarify that book on its own is good. I think there are probably some items that could have been taken care of (I mentioned above) through the editing process but hopefully the next versions of the books can take care of these issues.

Dripping with Understanding

Reviewed in the United States on January 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

Just arrived and diving in this week, the first impressions are that this is a deep dive on the mechanisms of Deep learning, but exceptional in the way the material is accessible to those without classical math background. You just need to devote some effort and basic reasoning and you should be plenty out of this book, Bon appetit ! I will update this if my description changes, this study effort will take a few weeks. Peace.

The book I wish I had when I started learning deep learning

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a wonderful, plain-English discussion of the mechanics that go on under the hood of neural networks - from data flow to updating of weights. Specifically written without a slant on normally-wonky math, the concepts are presented and then advanced at a digestable pace for anyone. It makes for a wonderful textbook for a course, and should be required reading for product managers or marketing people getting into deep learning, alike.

Not worth it. Only the first half of the book is useful.

Reviewed in the United States on June 15, 2023

Verified Purchase

I started reading this book as an introduction to deep learning. The first half of the book does a good job of explaining the concepts and code, but around chapter ten the book becomes confusing. I ended up having to use other recourses just to try and understand what the author was trying to explain. I ended up starting a different book recommend by a friend in this field. I think this book needs some revision in a lot of ways. I am not sure if the code became hard to read because they used numpy or poor explanations.

Vous êtes intrigués par le deep learning? Vous avez un background vaguement scientifique ou mathématique sans être pour autant ingénieur, pro du code, de l’informatique , de l’IA? Mais vous voulez en savoir un peu sur le monde de l’IA pour agir en connaissance de cause? Soit en tant qu’entrepreneur, leader en entreprise ( pas forcément manager!), alors cet ouvrage est un must.

Invites to grok DL

Reviewed in Germany on March 25, 2021

Verified Purchase

Despite having a mathematical background (and having grokked many concepts of DL) I found this book insightful.

On some shortcomings:
I agree with some of the other reviewers that, having mastered the maths of DL, this approach might rather confuse. Maybe math is the simplest language in this regard. Personally I found a few points more distracting than this, specifically the backpropagation for the NN for sigmoids in chapter 11 (an approximation is used which is never explained) and the batch gradient descent in chapter 8 (just wrong). A minor point: Personally I prefer PEP8 coding standard, the code is also a bit unique and sometimes hard to read.

On its strengths:
This book invites to deal with DL deeply, try out for yourself, to learn from your mistakes (and maybe deliberately from shortcomings in the explanations). This is sometimes painful, yet this is the way you learn. Specifically the strongest points are the step-by-step explanations (e.g. backprop) where each step is executed "on paper". I very much liked the part on Autograd. Having Worked with PyTorch and TF for years I took many things for granted which, surprisingly, I really never understood. Building a framework step by step from ground up helped me a lot. An other great point are the many tips throughout the book (sometimes well hidden), which are also worded so that they invite deeper understanding (and more research into the topic).

Overall (for me) the strong points outweigh the shortcomings by a wide margin.

Incredible, intuitive and layman friendly

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on April 1, 2020

Verified Purchase

The author has done an astounding job at distilling the essence and complexities of the topic into a format that is almost child’s play. At first this book for me was a supplementary read whilst I did the fast.ai course, but since has become the main focus and resource for learning. Thank you Andrew for bringing this topic to the layman and propelling me Into this field.

One of the best deep learning books which provide the clearest explanation of the mathematical foundation of deep learning. The explanation makes core concepts crystal clear.

I wish I read this book when I first started deep learning.

Thank you to the author for writing such a great book.
