Manning Early Access Program Deep Learning with Python

Deep learning is an immensely rich subfield of machine learning, with powerful applications ranging from machine perception to natural language processing, all the way up to creative AI. Yet, its core concepts are in fact very simple. Deep learning is often presented as shrouded in a certain mystique, with references to algorithms that “work like the brain”, that “think” or “understand”. Reality is however quite far from this sciencefiction dream, and I will do my best in these pages to dispel these illusions. I believe that there are no difficult ideas in deep learning, and that’s why I started this book, based on the premise that all of the important concepts and applications in this field could be taught to anyone, with very few prerequisites.
