Your credits can be found in the subscription homepage - subscription.packtpub.com - clicking on ‘the my’ library dropdown and selecting ‘credits’.

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.

What is Early Access?

Keeping up to date with the latest technology is difficult; new versions, new frameworks, new techniques. This feature gives you a head-start to our content, as it's being created. With Early Access you'll receive each chapter as it's written, and get regular updates throughout the product's development, as well as the final course as soon as it's ready.We created Early Access as a means of giving you the information you need, as soon as it's available. As we go through the process of developing a course, 99% of it can be ready but we can't publish until that last 1% falls in to place. Early Access helps to unlock the potential of our content early, to help you start your learning when you need it most. You not only get access to every chapter as it's delivered, edited, and updated, but you'll also get the finalized, DRM-free product to download in any format you want when it's published. As a member of Packt, you'll also be eligible for our exclusive offers, including a free course every day, and discounts on new and popular titles.

This is the third edition of the book, updated and seasoned, and my first time looking at it. Why learn and use Deep Learning? "DL techniques can solve problems with a level of accuracy that was not possible using previous methods."The book is nicely concise and thorough, well-written. Following the code example in the first chapter, I quickly fit the Sentiment Analysis model of IMDB reviews. I had not really used Google Colab before, it was easy and similar to Jupyter notebooks. You can choose to run on a CPU, GPU, or TPU. This first example uses the simplest of three methods of model building with tf.keras, the Sequential() model. Skimming the code made me curious - what is this and that?, so I searched online for the documentation, quickly found it at tensorflow dot org, where they also have tutorials. There are many code examples in the book and they use Python which uses "TensorFlow 2.x, a modular network library based on Keras-like APIs".I like the chapter divisions and the offerings; there are 20, which includes one focusing on the math behind DL. Other topics of interest to me are: Transformers, Probabilistic Tensorflow, Intro to AutoML, Four generations of TPUs, Other Useful DL libraries, ML Best Practices, and TensorFlow Lite. I like that there is a list of references and resources at the end of each chapter.I think this book will be an excellent companion on a further journey of exploration of DL model building. The library comes with datasets, if you want to avoid preparing your own at the start.

Absolutely amazing book which delivers insights on machine learning and NLP models. The mathematical and structural descriptions are well motivated and followed by code that is well documented using standard packages. It is rare to find such a reference on even one of the topics, but this reference delivers across a wide range of techniques.I was especially impressed with the chapters devoted to natural language processing. After well written chapters on basic concepts such as word vectors, the authors provide excellent coverage of transformers which are the current state of the art for language processing. The authors cover the basics of transformers and then illuminate the differences amongst the many transformer variates with their target uses and particular strengths. As in the other chapters, the discussion of transformers is capped by a detailed walk through of code insuring that the reader understands the steps needed to construct the processing pipeline through to model training and output.The ending chapters make up an excellent reference manual of concept and techniques such as parameter turning using AutoML, the mathematical methods used to optimize model coefficients by backpropagation, hardware decisions, and an introduction to other deep learning libraries.I highly recommend this book regardless of your level of modeling experience.Elliot NomaLead Data ScientistThe Financial Regulatory Authority

Really enjoyed reading through 'Deep Learning with TensorFlow and Keras'. The authors have delivered a comprehensive and detailed book on how to use TensorFlow and Keras. Not only will you get familiar with using ML platforms and open-source libraries, you will learn when and why you should use certain ML techniques. There is so much useful content here that I will plan to continue to use this book as a reference!

This textbook is really good, and contains from scratch knowledge about deep learning framework and implementation.Consider this textbook for the serious life long learners of deep learning, and also helpful in clearing the tensorflow developer exam.
