The mathematical paradigms behind deep learning models typically begin as hard-to-read academic papers that leave engineers in the dark about how those models actually function. Math and Architectures of Deep Learning bridges the gap between theory and practice, laying out the math of deep learning side by side with practical implementations in Python and PyTorch. Written by deep learning expert Krishnendu Chaudhury, you'll peer inside the "black box" to understand how your code is working, and learn to comprehend cutting-edge research you can turn into practical applications.
Foreword by Prith Banerjee.
About the technology
Discover what's going on inside the black box! To work with deep learning you'll have to choose the right model, train it, preprocess your data, evaluate performance and accuracy, and deal with uncertainty and variability in the outputs of a deployed solution. This book takes you systematically through the core mathematical concepts you'll need as a working data scientist: vector calculus, linear algebra, and Bayesian inference, all from a deep learning perspective.
About the book
Math and Architectures of Deep Learning teaches the math, theory, and programming principles of deep learning models laid out side by side, and then puts them into practice with well-annotated Python code. You'll progress from algebra, calculus, and statistics all the way to state-of-the-art DL architectures taken from the latest research.
