About the technology
Deep learning doesn’t have to be a black box! Knowing how your models and algorithms actually work gives you greater control over your results. And you don’t have to be a mathematics expert or a senior data scientist to grasp what’s going on inside a deep learning system. This book gives you the practical insight you need to understand and explain your work with confidence.
About the book
Inside Deep Learning illuminates the inner workings of deep learning algorithms in a way that even machine learning novices can understand. You’ll explore deep learning concepts and tools through plain language explanations, annotated code, and dozens of instantly useful PyTorch examples. Each type of neural network is clearly presented without complex math, and every solution in this book can run using readily available GPU hardware!
