Summary

Deep learning is applicable to a widening range of artificial intelligence problems， such as image classification， speech recognition， text classification， question answering， text-to-speech， and optical character recognition。 It is the technology behind photo tagging systems at Facebook and Google， self-driving cars， speech recognition systems on your smartphone， and much more。

In particular， Deep learning excels at solving machine perception problems: understanding the content of image data， video data， or sound data。 Here's a simple example: say you have a large collection of images， and that you want tags associated with each image， for example， "dog，" "cat，" etc。 Deep learning can allow you to create a system that understands how to map such tags to images， learning only from examples。 This system can then be applied to new images， automating the task of photo tagging。 A deep learning model only has to be fed examples of a task to start generating useful results on new data。

If you're a STEM student and you want to learn to program deep learning without struggling too much with algorithms and maths this is the book。Straightforward tutorials with understandable and high level code with a low or inexistent programming knowledge barrier。 Probably the best hands-on approach for deep learning introduction。The explanations are quite updated and it teaches almost every kind of deep learning algorithm you should expect to know as introduction。 Despite being an introduction If you're a STEM student and you want to learn to program deep learning without struggling too much with algorithms and maths this is the book。Straightforward tutorials with understandable and high level code with a low or inexistent programming knowledge barrier。 Probably the best hands-on approach for deep learning introduction。The explanations are quite updated and it teaches almost every kind of deep learning algorithm you should expect to know as introduction。 Despite being an introduction the topics are diverse enough to consider this a wide perspective of the deep learning capabilities。 。。。more

I think this book is really great for those who are new to this area。 Really easy to understand。

Stein Karlsen ，

Great book on deep learning， with good examples of the models discussed。 I really enjoyed the discussions around when specific architecture and techniques were appropriate。

PJ ，

Simple， clear overview of deep learning/neural networks with important considerations for its applications to real world problems。 Gets you up to speed with the concepts in no time。

It’s hard to get a book “closer-to-the-metal” in applied deep learning than one written by the author of Keras， but that’s exactly what this book is， and it delivers the content extremely well。 I listened to the book both in audio format， and probably have gone through 40 - 50% of the book via physical reading， and found the audio delivery was a better channel than I expected， given that this is effectively a programming text， but still was no cigar compared to an actual reading。 The better-than It’s hard to get a book “closer-to-the-metal” in applied deep learning than one written by the author of Keras， but that’s exactly what this book is， and it delivers the content extremely well。 I listened to the book both in audio format， and probably have gone through 40 - 50% of the book via physical reading， and found the audio delivery was a better channel than I expected， given that this is effectively a programming text， but still was no cigar compared to an actual reading。 The better-than-expected delivery via audio probably has much to do with how much of the book is dedicated not to a software or technical treatment of instrumenting the neural networks， but to the history of machine learning in general， as well as a conceptual overview of the basic machine learning pipeline。 Roughly 50 pages of the first 4 chapters （or about half of the page-count for those chapters） is dedicated to this conceptual treatment of machine learning， the first chapter being a history of shallow-learning that led up to the advent of the first neural network， it’s failure in the early 90s， the emergence of both kernel methods and ensembling as a the predominant paradigm， then finally the reemergence of neural networks within the framework of GPU-backed deep neural networks （DNNs）， The 4th chapter goes through the standard ML pipeline （model-estimation， train/test， tuning and performance tracking via cross-validation etc。， which is almost entirely independent of DNN as a conceptual framework。 These 2 chapters are easily digestible via audio。 Chapters 2 and 3， which discusses the rudiments of neural networks conceptually and how to navigate Kera’s internal API are also pretty light-weight in terms of technical content and also are easily digestible via audio。 Thus， slightly above a ⅓ of the text is well-written for audio。 Where the text becomes troublesome for the audio reader is from chapter 5 onward， where step-by-step code templates for DNNs written within Keras are presented for the two major domain-areas computer vision and text/language。 These chapters in my opinion are where the real value of the text lay as they include not only the cookie-cutter basic nets for a set of use-cases within each domain， but there’s a lot of commentary on how design-features （adding/subtracting hidden-layers， where to regularize/drop-out， where to pool etc。） a person may customize in their own net may impact the performance of that use-case in the domain。 Going through these chapters carefully can quickly get someone to implement （at least with decent performance）。That being said， the templates are all fairly simple， and more recent innovations like multi-task and other bifurcating network topologies do not make it into the material in any substantial （or at all） manner。 Though， it should be remembered this is a first-pass book， and was written in 2015-16 （published in 17/18’ depending on the format）， and so this can be excused。 Overall， the level of content is decidedly more from the practitioner’s standpoint， which is appropriate for this subfield in machine learning， since a full rigorous treatment of the mathematical properties of NNs still mostly elusive， with the theory currently being constructed， this field should be more of a software engineering domain。 In fact， Andrew Ng himself has often stated that the best way to learn NNs is to do NNs， and this book will have you implementing NNs within the first 2 - 3 hours of reading。 This was not the first treatment of the material I’ve gone through， having done most of Ng’s Coursera courses， and other academic material， and having attended some seminars on the the theoretical treatment of the subject also in an academic context （mostly， understanding NNs within the context of universal approximation）， as well as deploying some in work， I still found the book to be useful， and will reference it at least for a little while longer。 There’s a chapter on best-practices within the Keras API， and I suspect there is some value for even intermediate users of these objects in sections of the text like this， as well as the aforementioned code template-sections。 Overall， I enjoyed this book， and recommend it highly （especially for newer practitioners or students of the subject matter）。 It seems like it would pair well with Goodellow et。 al。， and I've seen both of these books required as textbooks in sync in some syllabi for standard graduate courses on the subject。 。。。more

Excellent！Readable， practical， sensible， insightful and relevant。For anyone wanting a great reasonable depth practical introduction to deep learning you would do well to start here。

Arian Beckmann ，

Excellent book。 Can recommend to anybody who has previous experience with Python and Deep Learning and wants to learn the structure of the Keras framework。

This is absolutely not a book for beginners。 It's very good if you know the theoretical concepts of deep learning and you want to know how to implement them on Keras。 Otherwise you're going to feel lost。 I recommend first taking the Andrew Ng course， it will help a lot， and maybe after that reading this book。 This is absolutely not a book for beginners。 It's very good if you know the theoretical concepts of deep learning and you want to know how to implement them on Keras。 Otherwise you're going to feel lost。 I recommend first taking the Andrew Ng course， it will help a lot， and maybe after that reading this book。 。。。more

Very good introduction with lots of example code and not too much math。 However， I felt that the core concepts are introduced very briefly and not explained very much。 I would say that this book takes the approach of "this is what you need to know to get started using Keras" and gives you just the intuitive understanding of each area。 If you just want to try deep learning on some datasets， this is a good book to start doing just that。 If you are new to AI/ML， I would recommend getting some more Very good introduction with lots of example code and not too much math。 However， I felt that the core concepts are introduced very briefly and not explained very much。 I would say that this book takes the approach of "this is what you need to know to get started using Keras" and gives you just the intuitive understanding of each area。 If you just want to try deep learning on some datasets， this is a good book to start doing just that。 If you are new to AI/ML， I would recommend getting some more rigorous introduction first - at the end of the day， you will need the math to understand the results you are getting。 。。。more

Wonderful book to lay hands on

Alexandru Voda ，

Very concise and practical。 Does exactly what the title suggests: gives an overview of DL implementations in Python & Keras。 Great， crystal-clear coding examples that ran just fine for myself。 For a mathematical understanding of DL， you'd have to go and read a book specialised on that， take courses or start by watching the play lists made by 3blue1brown on YouTube years ago。 Very concise and practical。 Does exactly what the title suggests: gives an overview of DL implementations in Python & Keras。 Great， crystal-clear coding examples that ran just fine for myself。 For a mathematical understanding of DL， you'd have to go and read a book specialised on that， take courses or start by watching the play lists made by 3blue1brown on YouTube years ago。 。。。more

Muy buena introducción a las redes neuronales con keras。 Obvia la parte matemática， que por un lado simplifica y por otro en algún momento puede parecer magia。 Recomendable para cualquier programador。

Extraordinary book to learn the fundamentals of deep learning with a practical approach。

Philipda Luangprasert ，

This is the guide to deep learning using Keras， the most popular tool， from the creator himself。It provides advanced introduction without dealing with complicated stuffs （math， tensorflow， etc。）。 Although it is also good for starters， it is not the best choice to jump in without some prior knowledge。 As he said in the book， starters may tempt to think that "all you have is [a powerful， easy， black-boxed] deep-learning hammer， and every problem starts to look like a nail。" This is the guide to deep learning using Keras， the most popular tool， from the creator himself。It provides advanced introduction without dealing with complicated stuffs （math， tensorflow， etc。）。 Although it is also good for starters， it is not the best choice to jump in without some prior knowledge。 As he said in the book， starters may tempt to think that "all you have is [a powerful， easy， black-boxed] deep-learning hammer， and every problem starts to look like a nail。" 。。。more

Gorgeously written and provides a lot of practical examples。 Provides a high level but thorough walkthrough of the theoretical aspects of the models presented。

A great book that explains the various parts of deep learning with Python。 There could have a bit more explanation on the reasoning behind the chosen approaches， but otherwise it covers everything you need to know。

Best generalization of AI precepts I could find。 Well written & simple to follow through all DL abstractions。

Quick note I want to make before I proceed with this review:I decided to try something new and bought the audiobook version of this book， making this my first "software"-related audiobook。 If you decide to listen to the audiobook， the audiobook also comes with a PDF file as a "follow along" document which contains examples， figures， and charts for each of the chapters。Overall， the audiobook and accompanying PDF document works really well as a format for this subject matter。 This is a helpful and Quick note I want to make before I proceed with this review:I decided to try something new and bought the audiobook version of this book， making this my first "software"-related audiobook。 If you decide to listen to the audiobook， the audiobook also comes with a PDF file as a "follow along" document which contains examples， figures， and charts for each of the chapters。Overall， the audiobook and accompanying PDF document works really well as a format for this subject matter。 This is a helpful and practical book which shows how to create various machine learning frameworks with Python and Keras。 These frameworks are used for different applications such as in: computer vision， natural language processing （NLP）， binary/multiple classification（s）， etc。 I learned some helpful methods and algorithms to use for Keras， and reviewed some material that I learned beforehand （particularly for classification techniques and convolutional networks）。 Whether you are new to machine learning or are an active practitioner， this is a great resource to have in your library。 。。。more

Excellent book to get a quick start on deep learning！ This is not a book to learn the theoretical aspects of deep-learning， rather it is a collection of hands-on examples to work through and learn by experience and the guidance provided by the author。 That said， if you have seen neural networks from the 1990s along with the back propagation algorithm， and you can visualize the concepts of gradient descent and convolution， then this material is very easy to followThe examples are setup on the Ker Excellent book to get a quick start on deep learning！ This is not a book to learn the theoretical aspects of deep-learning， rather it is a collection of hands-on examples to work through and learn by experience and the guidance provided by the author。 That said， if you have seen neural networks from the 1990s along with the back propagation algorithm， and you can visualize the concepts of gradient descent and convolution， then this material is very easy to followThe examples are setup on the Keras framework using TensorFlow as the backend engine。 I used an EC2 p2。xlarge instance as suggested by the author。 The setup required a bit of help beyond what's provided in Appendix B。 Once setup though you will need to run from a virtual environment: "source activate tensorflow_p36"。 。 。 。 。 。 My final thought is that after having read Chapter 7， I want to do a second pass using callbacks and tensorboard for better insight。 。。。more

The perfect practical introduction to DL， it doesn't claim to be a mathematical explanation of DL and it doesn't get bogged down in maths。 Instead it gives lots of examples and explains in intuitive ways the implementation where necessary。 The perfect practical introduction to DL， it doesn't claim to be a mathematical explanation of DL and it doesn't get bogged down in maths。 Instead it gives lots of examples and explains in intuitive ways the implementation where necessary。 。。。more

The book is great as a practical guide to keras。

Fantastic read！！ The explanations are clear， the examples are very illustrative， and the Jupyter notebooks make following along with those examples very easy。
