Overview of this book

Julia is a fast and high performing language that's perfectly suited to data science with a mature package ecosystem and is now feature complete. It is a good tool for a data science practitioner. There was a famous post at Harvard Business Review that Data Scientist is the sexiest job of the 21st century. (https://hbr.org/2012/10/data-scientist-the-sexiest-job-of-the-21st-century). This book will help you get familiarised with Julia's rich ecosystem, which is continuously evolving, allowing you to stay on top of your game. This book contains the essentials of data science and gives a high-level overview of advanced statistics and techniques. You will dive in and will work on generating insights by performing inferential statistics, and will reveal hidden patterns and trends using data mining. This has the practical coverage of statistics and machine learning. You will develop knowledge to build statistical models and machine learning systems in Julia with attractive visualizations. You will then delve into the world of Deep learning in Julia and will understand the framework, Mocha.jl with which you can create artificial neural networks and implement deep learning. This book addresses the challenges of real-world data science problems, including data cleaning, data preparation, inferential statistics, statistical modeling, building high-performance machine learning systems and creating effective visualizations using Julia.

Preface

Chapter 11. Introduction to Deep Learning

Innovators have always longed to make machines that can think. At the point when programmable PCs were first considered, individuals pondered whether they might get to be wise, over a hundred years before one was constructed (Lovelace in 1842).

Today, artificial intelligence (AI) is a flourishing field with numerous reasonable applications and dynamic exploration points. We look to intelligent programming to automate routine work, process image and audio and extract meaning out of it, automate diagnoses of several diseases, and much more.

In the beginning, when artificial intelligence (AI) was picking up, the field handled and tackled issues that are mentally difficult for individuals, yet moderately straightforward for computers. These issues can be depicted by a rundown of formal, scientific principles. The genuine test for artificial intelligence turned out to be unraveling the undertakings that are simple for individuals to perform yet hard for individuals...
