Appendix A. A “hello world” deep learning system

This book is about teaching design principles for building a deep learning system that fits your own situation. But you may be wondering what a deep learning system even looks like. Or how, why, and when people can use a system like this in practice. These are all great questions at this stage.

We believe the best method for learning new ideas, skills, and approaches is by doing—by getting your hands on some examples and seeing what you can do with them. To help you, we built a mini deep learning system and a code lab for you to play with. Playing around in this “hello world” deep learning system should help you build the knowledge base for understanding the concepts and principles introduced in ...
