Deep Learning Illustrated: A Visual, Interactive Guide to Artificial Intelligence

Foreword

Machine learning is considered by many to be the future of statistics and computer engineering as it reshapes customer service, design, banking, medicine, manufacturing, and hosts of other disciplines and industries. It is hard to overstate its impact on the world so far and the changes it will bring about in the coming years and decades. Of the multitude of machine learning methods applied by professionals, such as penalized regression, random forests, and boosted trees, perhaps the most excitement-inducing is deep learning.

Deep learning has revolutionized computer vision and natural language processing, and researchers are still finding new areas to transform with the power of neural networks. Its most profound impact is often seen ...
