What happens if an Early Access Course is cancelled?

Projects are rarely cancelled, but sometimes it's unavoidable. If an Early Access course is cancelled or excessively delayed, you can exchange your purchase for another course. For further details, please contact us here.

Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

How is Early Access delivered?

Early Access is currently only available as a PDF or through our online reader. As we make changes or add new chapters, the files in your Packt account will be updated so you can download them again or view them online immediately.

How do I buy Early Access content?

Early Access is a way of us getting our content to you quicker, but the method of buying the Early Access course is still the same. Just find the course you want to buy, go through the check-out steps, and you’ll get a confirmation email from us with information and a link to the relevant Early Access courses.

I thought this was a very well-written book on Deep Learning (DL). Java is (in my opinion) not the best language for teaching algorithms, but the example code is very readable. Like many DL books, the book focuses a lot on basic concepts and the math derivations behind them, so in that sense it is relatively undifferentiated from these books - however, it is is the only one that does so in Java. This is the only book I have read that has extensive coverage of pre-training (Deep Belief Networks, Restricted Boltzmann Machines, Denoising Autoencoders (DA), and Stacked DAs). Other "standard" networks such as Multilayer Perceptrons, Convolutional Neural Networks and Recurrent Neural Networks are also covered, about as well as other books I have read. The author provides good intuition around ideas such as dropout and learning rate adjustments. I bought the book because I wanted a quick intro to the DeepLearning4j framework - unfortunately the book has only one chapter dedicated to that with a fairly basic example. However, one can use it as a template and refer to the (very informative) DL4j website for more information. Overall, I think it is a good resource for Java programmers who want to learn Deep Learning.

As a software engineer, I have read several theoretical books to try to understand the concepts of deep learning. I found it was really difficult for me to truly grasp the concepts such as DBN and CNN. After having gone through this book and read line by line the code provided, I can declare that I am a deep learning expert now.

Good examples and starting points. Provides a good history and multiple language examples. Recommend as a starting point. Useful resources.

Amazonのお客様 Jun 23, 2016

I'm at mid-level for deep learning and was looking for a book I could go through the whole picture from the theory to implementation.I think this is what I needed.For the next step, I want a book which goes further implementations and coding.
