Overview of this book

Deep learning is rapidly becoming the most preferred way of solving data problems. This is thanks, in part, to its huge variety of mathematical algorithms and their ability to find patterns that are otherwise invisible to us. Deep Learning from the Basics begins with a fast-paced introduction to deep learning with Python, its definition, characteristics, and applications. You’ll learn how to use the Python interpreter and the script files in your applications, and utilize NumPy and Matplotlib in your deep learning models. As you progress through the book, you’ll discover backpropagation—an efficient way to calculate the gradients of weight parameters—and study multilayer perceptrons and their limitations, before, finally, implementing a three-layer neural network and calculating multidimensional arrays. By the end of the book, you’ll have the knowledge to apply the relevant technologies in deep learning.

Acknowledgments

First, I would like to thank the researchers and engineers who have conducted research of technologies about deep learning: machine learning and computer science. It is thanks to them that I can write this book. I also thank those who have published useful information in books and on the Web. Above all, I learned a lot from the spirit of generously providing useful technologies and information in the open class CS231n (Convolutional Neural Networks for Visual Recognition (http://cs231n.github.io/) at Stanford University.

The following people have contributed to my writing. Tetsuro Kato, Shinya Kita, Yuka Tobinaga, Kota Nakano, Masatatu Nakamura, Akihiro Hayashi, and Ryo Yamamoto at teamLab, Inc., Kenshi Muto and Moe Masuko at Top Studio Co., Kenji Nomura at Flickfit, and Hidetaka Tanno, JSPS oversea research fellow in The University of Texas at Austin. These people read the manuscript of this book and provided much advice. I would like to thank them here. I say clearly...
