Practical Deep Learning with Python

This book is written for people with Python programming experience who want to getstarted with machine learning and deep learning. But this book can also be valuableto many different types of readers: If youre a data scientist familiar with machine learning, this book will provideyou with a solid, practical introduction to deep learning, the fastest-growingand most significant subfield of machine learning. If youre a deep-learning expert looking to get started with the Keras framework,youll find this book to be the best Keras crash course available. If youre a graduate student studying deep learning in a formal setting, youllfind this book to be a practical complement to your education, helping youbuild intuition around the behavior of deep neural networks and familiarizingyou with key best practices.Even technically minded people who dont code regularly will find this book useful asan introduction to both basic and advanced deep-learning concepts.In order to use Keras, youll need reasonable Python proficiency. Additionally, familiarity with the Numpy library will be helpful, although it isnt required. You dont need previous experience with machine learning or deep learning: this book covers from scratch all the necessary basics. You dont need an advanced mathematics background, either-high school-level mathematics should suffice in order to follow along.
