Illuminating both the core concepts and the hands-on programming techniques needed to succeed, this text can be used for students with prior programming experince but with no prior machine learning or statistics experience. After introducing the essential building blocks of deep neural networks, such as artificial neurons and fully connected, convolutional, and recurrent layers, Ekman shows how to use them to build advanced architectures, including the Transformer. He describes how these concepts are used to build modern networks for computer vision and natural language processing (NLP), including Mask R-CNN, GPT, and BERT. And he explains a natural language translator and a system generating natural language descriptions of images. Throughout, Ekman provides concise, well-annotated code examples using TensorFlow with Keras. Corresponding PyTorch examples are provided online, and the book thereby covers the two dominating Python libraries for DL used in industry and academia. He concludes with an introduction to neural architecture search (NAS), exploring important ethical issues and providing resources for further learning. \nFeatures: \nAll students need to get started, and get result, sno machine learning background required. \nPacked with clear, thorough explanations and concise, well-annotated code examples. \nPresents an extensive set of code examples built with TensorFlow and the Keras API, with complementary PyTorch examples provided online. \nThoroughly demonstrates the use of deep learning in an advanced image captioning network application that combines image and language processing. \nStraight from NVIDIA, creator of the GPU hardware that brings deep learning models to life.
