This book is about Deep Learning, a set of machine learning methods that have sparked a huge amount of interest in applying computational and predictive models to everything from whimsical face filters to medical imaging to generating computer code itself. Deep learning is at the core of the current “AI revolution”. While based on techniques that can be traced back more than half a century, only in the past decade have these techniques really come into their own and they now dominate the predictive modeling space for an increasingly large number of use cases. This book aims to help you get a better high-level, conceptual understanding of how deep learning works, its central concepts, applications, limitations, and possibilities.
Why deep learning?
Deep Learning is a name applied to a class of neural networks with many “layers”, allowing them to be trained to perform certain kinds of tasks that traditional modeling techniques have not been able to do nearly as well. In some cases these deep neural networks can even outperform humans on these tasks, which has fueled the high level of excitement around this family of methods.
