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 book builds your understanding through intuitive explanations and practical examples.
About the Technology
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.
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 book 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.
What's Inside • 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
Readers need intermediate Python skills. No previous experience with Keras, TensorFlow, or machine learning is, required.
