1 Introduction to probabilistic deep learning

This chapter covers

What is a probabilistic model?
What is deep learning and when do you use it?
Comparing traditional machine learning and deep learning approaches for image classification
The underlying principles of both curve fitting and neural networks
Comparing non-probabilistic and probabilistic models
What probabilistic deep learning is and why it’s useful

Deep learning (DL) is one of the hottest topics in data science and artificial intelligence today. DL has only been feasible since 2012 with the widespread usage of GPUs, but you’re probably already dealing with DL technologies in various ...

Julian F.

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
