Description

Dan Van Boxel’s Deep Learning with TensorFlow is based on Dan’s best-selling TensorFlow video course. With deep learning going mainstream, making sense of data and getting accurate results using deep networks is possible. Dan Van Boxel will be your guide to exploring the possibilities with deep learning; he will enable you to understand data like never before. With the efficiency and simplicity of TensorFlow, you will be able to process your data and gain insights that will change how you look at data. With Dan’s guidance, you will dig deeper into the hidden layers of abstraction using raw data. Dan then shows you various complex algorithms for deep learning and various examples that use these deep neural networks. You will also learn how to train your machine to craft new features to make sense of deeper layers of data. In this book, Dan shares his knowledge across topics such as logistic regression, convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, training deep networks, and high level interfaces. With the help of novel practical examples, you will become an ace at advanced multilayer networks, image recognition, and beyond.

What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

Practical approach

Amazon Verified review

Maxwell B. Anselm May 11, 2018

If you've done some reading about machine learning and already know the gist of how neural networks work, this book will get you up to speed with some simple, practical examples. It's very light and handwavy on the theory, so I wouldn't recommend it to someone who is completely fresh to the topic. But I liked that it took a very hands-on approach with the code examples, explaining every line and generally doing things "the hard way" so that you actually felt like you were in control of the networks you set up.I followed along using the latest TensorFlow libraries available on Arch Linux and I was surprised that the examples were already a little out of date. I got quite a few deprecation warnings and one example was straight up broken because of outdated syntax, but it was easy to figure out how to fix everything.I happen to know that the author originally presented the material as a video series and this book was transcribed by a third party and... unfortunately, it shows. There are some weird wordings that I can only assume were incorrectly transcribed, and some of the text refers to code examples that must be downloaded separately as if they're right there in the text. But again, nothing got in the way of understanding the material.

Wishing to learn about TensorFlow, I decided to survey TF books available from Amazon, and pick one or two for further study. I excluded self-published offerings, and ended up with this longish list, dominated by Packt titles:"Machine Learning with TensorFlow" by Shukla, published by Manning in 2018-02, 272 pp, $43"Mastering TensorFlow 1.x" by Fandango, Packt, 2018-01, 474 pp, $35"Pro Deep Learning with TensorFlow" by Pattanayak, Apress, 2017-12, 398 pp, $37"TensorFlow 1.x Deep Learning Cookbook" by Gulli and Kapoor, Packt, 2017-12, 536 pp, $32"Neural Network Programming with TensorFlow" by Ghotra and Dua, Packt, 2017-11, 274 pp, $40"Predictive Analytics with TensorFlow" by Karim, Packt, 2017-11, 522 pp, $50"Machine Learning with TensorFlow 1.x" by Hua and Azeem, Packt, 2017-11, 304 pp, $39"Learning TensorFlow" by Hope and Resheff, O'Reilly, 2017-08, 242 pp, $25"Hands-On Deep Learning with TensorFlow" by Van Boxel, Packt, 2017-07, 174 pp, $35"Deep Learning with TensorFlow" by Zaccone, Karim and Menshawy, Packt, 2017-04, 320 pp, $50"TensorFlow Machine Learning Cookbook" by McClure, Packt, 2017-02, 370 pp, $30"Building Machine Learning Projects with TensorFlow" by Bonnin, Packt, 2016-11, 291 pp, $35"Getting Started with TensorFlow" by Zaccone, Packt, 2016-07, 180 pp, $35I reviewed the doc on tensorflow.org - including the doc for older releases - then started looking at books. One week later, I am still not done, but some options can already be discarded."Hands-On Deep Learning with TensorFlow" is one of them. The book is the thinnest of the bunch; with just 174 Packt pages - equivalent to under 100 of "regular" ones - to play with, it cannot really be a TensorFlow reference, only a (sketchy) TensorFlow introduction. In this case, page count is kept down by (with one exception) focusing on a single problem, MNIST character recognition. Despite a recent release date, the book does not cover the higher-level APIs of Estimators and Datasets, and adopts the "old school", low-level approach. It is really not bad, and does add value to the doc (for release 1.3 or so) and online treatments of "TensorFlow vs. MNIST", but the truth is, for $35, you can find something more substantial. Consider "Hands-On Deep Learning with TensorFlow" if you see it on sale.
