“Over the next few decades, artificial intelligence is poised to
dramatically change almost every aspect of our lives, in large part
due to today’s breakthroughs in deep learning. 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, writer and illustrator of Wait But Why
“This book is an approachable, practical, and broad introduction to
deep learning, and the most beautifully illustrated machine
learning book on the market.”
–Dr. Michael Osborne, Dyson Associate Professor in Machine
Learning, University of Oxford
“This book should be the first stop for deep learning beginners, as
it contains lots of concrete, easy-to-follow examples with
corresponding tutorial videos and code notebooks. Strongly
recommended.”
–Dr. Chong Li, cofounder, Nakamoto & Turing Labs; adjunct
professor, Columbia University
“It’s hard to imagine developing new products today without
thinking about enriching them with capabilities using machine
learning. Deep learning in particular has many practical
applications, and this book’s intelligible clear and visual
approach is helpful to anyone who would like to understand what
deep learning is and how it could impact your business and life for
years to come.”
–Helen Altshuler, engineering leader, Google
“This book leverages beautiful illustrations and amusing analogies
to make the theory behind deep learning uniquely accessible. Its
straightforward example code and best-practice tips empower readers
to immediately apply the transformative technique to their
particular niche of interest.”
—Dr. Rasmus Rothe, founder, Merantix
“This is an invaluable resource for anyone looking to understand
what deep learning is and why it powers almost every automated
application today, from chatbots and voice recognition tools to
self-driving cars. The illustrations and biological explanations
help bring to life a complex topic and make it easier to grasp
fundamental concepts.”
—Joshua March, CEO and cofounder, Conversocial; author of Message
Me
“Deep learning is regularly redefining the state of the art across
machine vision, natural language, and sequential decision-making
tasks. If you too would like to pass data through deep neural
networks in order to build high-performance models, then this
book—with its innovative, highly visual approach—is the ideal place
to begin.”
—Dr. Alex Flint, roboticist and entrepreneur
