Fundamentals of Deep Learning: Designing Next-Generation Machine Intelligence Algorithms

4.8 out of 5 stars (18)

Purchase options and add-ons

We're in the midst of an AI research explosion. Deep learning has unlocked superhuman perception to power our push toward creating self-driving vehicles, defeating human experts at a variety of difficult games including Go, and even generating essays with shockingly coherent prose. But deciphering these breakthroughs often takes a PhD in machine learning and mathematics.

The updated second edition of this book describes the intuition behind these innovations without jargon or complexity. Python-proficient programmers, software engineering professionals, and computer science majors will be able to reimplement these breakthroughs on their own and reason about them with a level of sophistication that rivals some of the best developers in the field.

  • Learn the mathematics behind machine learning jargon
  • Examine the foundations of machine learning and neural networks
  • Manage problems that arise as you begin to make networks deeper
  • Build neural networks that analyze complex images
  • Perform effective dimensionality reduction using autoencoders
  • Dive deep into sequence analysis to examine language
  • Explore methods in interpreting complex machine learning models
  • Gain theoretical and practical knowledge on generative modeling
  • Understand the fundamentals of reinforcement learning

Fundamentals of Deep Learning

From the Preface

With the reinvigoration of neural networks in the 2000s, deep learning has become an extremely active area of research that is paving the way for modern machine learning. This book uses exposition and examples to help you understand major concepts in this complicated field. Large companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook have taken notice and are actively growing in-house deep learning teams. For the rest of us, deep learning is still a pretty complex and difficult subject to grasp. Research papers are filled to the brim with jargon, and scattered online tutorials do little to help build a strong intuition for why and how deep learning practitioners approach problems. Our goal is to bridge this gap.

In this second edition, we provide more rigorous background sections in mathematics with the aim of better equipping you for the material in the rest of the book. In addition, we have updated chapters in sequence analysis, computer vision, and reinforcement learning with deep dives into the latest advancements in the fields. And finally, we have added new chapters in the fields of generative modeling and interpretability to provide you with a broader view of the field of deep learning. We hope that these updates inspire you to practice deep learning on their own and apply their learnings to solve meaningful problems in the real world.

Prerequisites and Objectives

This book is aimed at an audience with a basic operating understanding of calculus and Python programming. In this latest edition, we provide extensive mathematical background chapters, specifically in linear algebra and probability, to prepare you for the material that lies ahead.

By the end of the book, we hope you will be left with an intuition for how to approach problems using deep learning, the historical context for modern deep learning approaches, and a familiarity with implementing deep learning algorithms using the PyTorch open source library.

How Is This Book Organized?

The first chapters of this book are dedicated to developing mathematical maturity via deep dives into linear algebra and probability, which are deeply embedded in the field of deep learning. The next several chapters discuss the structure of feed-forward neural networks, how to implement them in code, and how to train and evaluate them on real-world datasets. The rest of the book is dedicated to specific applications of deep learning and understanding the intuition behind the specialized learning techniques and neural network architectures developed for those applications. Although we cover advanced research in these latter sections, we hope to provide a breakdown of these techniques that is derived from first principles and digestible.

About the Author

Nithin Buduma is one of the first machine learning engineers at XY.ai, a start-up based out of Harvard and Stanford working to help healthcare companies leverage their massive datasets.

Nikhil Buduma is the cofounder and chief scientist of Remedy, a San Francisco-based company that is building a new system for data-driven primary healthcare. At the age of 16, he managed a drug discovery laboratory at San Jose State University and developed novel low-cost screening methodologies for resource-constrained communities. By the age of 19, he was a two-time gold medalist at the International Biology Olympiad. He later attended MIT, where he focused on developing large-scale data systems to impact healthcare delivery, mental health, and medical research. At MIT, he cofounded Lean On Me, a national nonprofit organization that provides an anonymous text hotline to enable effective peer support on college campus and leverages data to effect positive mental health and wellness outcomes. Today, Nikhil spends his free time investing in hard technology and data companies through his venture fund, Q Venture Partners, and managing a data analytics team for the Milwaukee Brewers baseball team.

Joe Papa has over 25 years experience in research & development and is the founder of INSPIRD.ai. He holds an MSEE and has led AI Research teams with PyTorch at Booz Allen and Perspecta Labs. Joe has mentored hundreds of Data Scientists and has taught 6,000+ students across the world on Udemy.
