Python Deep Learning: Understand how deep neural networks work and apply them to real-world tasks

Ivan Vasilev

Master effective navigation of neural networks, including convolutions and transformers, to tackle computer vision and NLP tasks using Python

Key Features
• Understand the theory, mathematical foundations and the structure of deep neural networks
• Become familiar with transformers, large language models, and convolutional networks
• Learn how to apply them on various computer vision and natural language processing problems

The field of deep learning has developed rapidly in the past years and today covers 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 chat bots 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 or adapt existing ones to s
