Neural Network Projects with Python

To get the most out of this book

You should have some basic familiarity with programming in Python in order to get the most out of this book. Nevertheless, the book will take you through every step in the project and explain the code as much as possible.

In terms of hardware, you should be running the code on a fairly modern computer with at least 8 GB of RAM and 15 GB of hard disk space (for the datasets). Training deep neural networks requires strong computational resources, and can be sped up significantly if you have a dedicated GPU. However, it is perfectly fine to run the code without a GPU, as well (such as on a laptop). Throughout the book, we will alert you if certain code will take some time to run if you do not have a GPU.
