Summary

Deep Learning with Python introduces the field of deep learning using the Python language and the powerful Keras library. Written by Keras creator and Google AI researcher François Chollet, this audiobook builds your understanding through intuitive explanations and practical examples. You'll explore challenging concepts and practice with applications in computer vision, natural-language processing, and generative models. By the time you finish, you'll have the knowledge and hands-on skills to apply deep learning in your own projects.

  • Deep learning from first principles
  • Setting up your own deep-learning environment
  • Image-classification models
  • Deep learning for text and sequences
  • Neural style transfer, text generation, and image generation

Machine learning has made remarkable progress in recent years. We went from near-unusable speech and image recognition, to near-human accuracy. We went from machines that couldn't beat a serious Go player, to defeating a world champion. Behind this progress is deep learning - a combination of engineering advances, best practices, and theory that enables a wealth of previously impossible smart applications.

François Chollet works on deep learning at Google in Mountain View, CA. He is the creator of the Keras deep-learning library, as well as a contributor to the TensorFlow machine-learning framework. He also does deep-learning research, with a focus on computer vision and the application of machine learning to formal reasoning. His papers have been published at major conferences in the field, including the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition (CVPR), the Conference and Workshop on Neural Information Processing Systems (NIPS), the International Conference on Learning Representations (ICLR), and others.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

good in-depth book on deep learning

As someone who has just started out learning about deep learning I thought I might get a bit lost with the book - I was wrong the depth and detail of the book is fantastic - would highly recommend

Very difficult to follow

I'm a professional software engineer, a machine learning novice, with very little knowledge of calculus.

This is an early review as I haven't finished the book.

This audiobook has a lot of potential, I enjoyed the first chapter which gives some context, but (so far) the maths section has been poor. Not enough care was taken during the conversion to audio. References to figures in the companion pdf are too few and often unclear and confusing. All too often I find myself scrolling up and down the pdf, trying to find my bearings. To make matters worse there are often statements such as "like this" when referring to the pdf. Like what exactly!?

In short, it started well, but has become an increasingly frustrating experience. I'm not confident that I'll be able to get through it. Still, I would consider the ebook or paperback version.
