An accessible highly-illustrated introduction to deep learning that offers visual and
conceptual explanations instead of equations. You'll learn how to use key deep learning
algorithms without the need for complex math. Ever since computers began beating us at chess
they've been getting better at a wide range of human activities from writing songs and
generating news articles to helping doctors provide healthcare. Deep learning is the source of
many of these breakthroughs and its remarkable ability to find patterns hiding in data has
made it the fastest growing field in artificial intelligence (AI). Digital assistants on our
phones use deep learning to understand and respond intelligently to voice commands automotive
systems use it to safely navigate road hazards online platforms use it to deliver personalized
suggestions for movies and books - the possibilities are endless. Deep Learning: A Visual
Approach is for anyone who wants to understand this fascinating field in depth but without any
of the advanced math and programming usually required to grasp its internals. If you want to
know how these tools work and use them yourself the answers are all within these pages. And
if you're ready to write your own programs there are also plenty of supplemental Python
notebooks in the accompanying Github repository to get you going. The book's conversational
style extensive color illustrations illuminating analogies and real-world examples expertly
explain the key concepts in deep learning including: • How text generators create novel
stories and articles • How deep learning systems learn to play and win at human games • How
image classification systems identify objects or people in a photo • How to think about
probabilities in a way that's useful to everyday life • How to use the machine learning
techniques that form the core of modern AI Intellectual adventurers of all kinds can use the
powerful ideas covered in Deep Learning: A Visual Approach to build intelligent systems that
help us better understand the world and everyone who lives in it. It's the future of AI and
this book allows you to fully envision it.
