Can't wait to give this to my niece!

Reviewed in the United States on April 5, 2019

I work in Artifical Intelligence, and when I found out my primahermana was having a baby, I knew I had to keep the STEM going in the family, especially since the baby's father is also a full-stack Engineer. Neural networks are such a complicated topic and I was shocked how easily it was broken down.

It looks good on the shelf.... but that's it.

Reviewed in the United States on June 25, 2020

Verified Purchase

Kind of disappointing with this book. I was hoping it would be better as a children's book. There's no rhyming or voices, extremely bland illustrations, and they're terribly boring for adults to read. There's an incredible amount of wasted space on the pages which is pretty unreasonable given the price of these books.

It's fun to have on the shelf, it's fun to a take a picture of an adult reading it to a child. But this is a book you'd only read once.

Love the concept, but boring for babies

Reviewed in the United States on January 12, 2021

Verified Purchase

Love the idea of introducing this concept to babies and toddlers, but the wording isn't simplistic enough, and the illustrations are boring. My child loses interest in this one quickly, despite loving most books, patterns and numbers.

Fun book. The concepts were a little harder to follow than in some of the other books in this series, but I look forward to additional topics!

At least I would expect that the pictures have been checked and the arrows are there and correct

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on December 11, 2020

Verified Purchase

The book arrived today. Physically it is made for the babies. Everything fine on this front.
But I would have expected that the pictures are checked before publication.
On page 16 it is not understandable, what all of these connections do and in which direction? Arrows help.
Page 18 - where do these answers come from? Based on which knowledge? Learning is only shown later A couple of arrows would really help
Page 19 - The hidden neurons contain the knowledge - this is completely left out.
Page 20 - here the question marks are correct - no knowledge yet
Page 20/21 the most important - how learning works is missing unfortunately. This is what NNs are about.
I like the idea to condense as much as possible, but it should be a help for parents as well.
I have only seen this one book, but would have problems helping children using this material when there is a question.

Good gift

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 19, 2019

Verified Purchase

Quite fun, I think a good gift for a new parent working in tech obviously more for them than the kid. I don't agree with the other comment about a cheap feel - it's pretty sturdy and will take a few chews. Only deals with the supervised training case though; I expect by the time they're grown we'll be well into self-supervision...

Complicated, but very good

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 14, 2020

I get that this is a complicated subject and I think it has been approached in a very good way, however my wife doesn't get it and that's my base-line. The pictures are fun and my son likes it so 4/5

Fun, imaginative, great books

Love reading these books to my wee girl, she also loves playing with them, looking at the pictures and turning the pages on her own (13 months old)
Simple fun explanations for complex science, I really like that even though it’s for babies, I feel like as the adult I learned something fun too
