Practical Deep Learning: A Python-Based Introduction – eBook PDF

Practical Deep Learning (ePub/PDF) teaches complete beginners how to build the datasets and models needed to train neural networks for their own DL projects.

If you’ve been inquisitive about machine learning but didn’t know where to start, this is the ebook you’ve been waiting for. Emphasizing the subfield of machine learning known as deep learning, it explains key concepts and gives you the foundation you need to start building your own models. Instead of simply outlining recipes for using existing toolkits Practical Deep Learning: A Python-based Introduction teaches you the way of deep learning and will motivate you to explore further.

All you require basic familiarity with computer programming and high school math—the ebook will cover the rest. After an introduction to Python, you’ll move through main topics like how to build a good training dataset, work with the scikit-learn and Keras libraries, and assess your models’ performance.

You’ll also learn:

• How to use convolutional neural networks
• How neural networks work and how they’re trained
• How to develop a successful deep learning model from scratch
• How to use classic machine learning models like k-Nearest Neighbors, Random Forests, and Support Vector Machines

You’ll run experiments along the way, building to a final case study that includes everything you’ve learned.

The ideal introduction to this dynamic, ever-expanding field, Practical Deep Learning will give you the confidence and skills to dive into your own machine learning projects.
