The field of deep learning has developed rapidly recently and today covers a broad range of applications. This makes it challenging to navigate and hard to understand without solid foundations. This book will guide you from the basics of neural networks to the state-of-the-art large language models in use today. The first part of the book introduces the main machine learning concepts and paradigms. It covers the mathematical foundations, the structure, and the training algorithms of neural networks and dives into the essence of deep learning. The second part of the book introduces convolutional networks for computer vision. We’ll learn how to solve image classification, object detection, instance segmentation, and image generation tasks. The third part focuses on the attention mechanism and transformers – the core network architecture of large language models. We’ll discuss new types of advanced tasks they can solve, such as chatbots and text-to-image generation. By the end of this book, you’ll have a thorough understanding of the inner workings of deep neural networks. You'll have the ability to develop new models and adapt existing ones to solve your tasks. You’ll also have sufficient understanding to continue your research and stay up to date with the latest advancements in the field.

Deep learning (DL) has taken the world by storm, revolutionizing entire fields such as computer vision and natural language processing. This comprehensive book is a wonderful and practical resource for understanding DL from the ground up, and covers the most important areas of DL applications, including computer vision, natural language processing (NLP), and large language models (LLMs).The book begins with a clear and detailed overview of machine learning, neural networks, and the fundamentals of deep learning. It proceeds with detailed examples of useful computer vision models and applications, such as object detection, image segmentation, and image generation using diffusion models. A significant part of the book is dedicated to models for natural language processing and LLMs, including an in-depth description of the transformer architecture, which is at the heart of such models these days. The last part of the book is focused on developing and deploying DL models in practice (aka MLOps).I especially liked the practical, hands-on approach taken by the author, where helpful code examples accompany the textual descriptions, and greatly assist in reinforcing the materials and concepts presented in the book. The accompanying GitHub repository includes all code examples, and is very useful as well.This practical guide will benefit any software engineer, researcher, data scientist or machine learning practitioner who wants to better understand how to build real-world DL models for computer vision and natural language processing. Prior familiarity with the Python programming language will be very helpful to fully benefit from this book.Highly recommended!

I liked:This book offers a thorough introduction that gradually increases in complexity, making it ideal for novice data scientists, while experienced machine learning professionals will find numerous practical insights to help avoid common pitfalls in model development.Each chapter is accompanied by relevant Python code, allowing readers to explore the implementations on the go via a tablet or smartphone, without needing to access GitHub or an editor. Chapters are well-structured, including valuable highlights and concluding with helpful takeaways.The author incorporates familiar diagrams and illustrations from well-established and foundational papers, creating a sense of continuity for readers familiar with the field.I personally appreciated the in-depth focus on often underrepresented topics, such as activation functions, mixed-precision training, various word embeddings, and conditioning transformers, among others. There's also a well-rounded section on MLOps, which includes tools like ONNX operators, TensorBoard, and Flask for deployment (although it would have been nice to see FastAPI as an alternative).Suggestions:The book would benefit from a clear statement of the Python and NumPy versions used, although I encountered only a minor issue when running the sample code with Python 3.12 and NumPy 2.1.1.While the discussions of older deep learning models, such as Inception networks or YOLO, provide valuable historical context, these sections may not appeal to all readers.One last note:This edition replaces the previous chapters on reinforcement learning with a more detailed introduction to transformers and their implementation.Conclusion:Overall, this is a well-crafted and informative deep learning book, enriched with well-documented Python code. It will appeal to both beginner and veteran data scientists, as well as software engineers.

The book's structure is thoughtfully crafted, starting with foundational concepts and gradually progressing to advanced topics, ensuring a smooth learning curve for readers of all levels. Moreover, Ivan Vasilev writing style is engaging and clear, making even the most intricate concepts digestible. But what truly sets "Python Deep Learning" apart is its relevance in the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence. And if you can't decide on Kindle or Paperback, the cover is pretty stylish and sits great on the bookshelf once you have read it.
