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.

What is Python?

Python is a simple programming language that is easy to read and learn. It is open-source software that you can use as you like for free. You can write a program that uses English-like grammar without the time-consuming compilation. This makes Python easy to use and, therefore a great choice for beginner programmers. In fact, many computer science courses in universities and professional schools choose Python as the first language they teach.

Python enables you to write both readable and high-performance (fast) code. If massive data processing and high-speed responses are required, Python will meet your needs. This is why Python is a favorite both with beginners and professionals. Cutting-edge IT companies such as Google, Microsoft, and Facebook frequently use Python.

Python is often used in scientific fields, particularly in machine learning and data science. Because of its high performance and excellent libraries for numerical calculations and statistical processing (NumPy and SciPy, for example), Python occupies a solid position in the realm of data science. It is often used as the backbone of deep learning frameworks such as Caffe, TensorFlow, and PyTorch, which provide Python interfaces. Therefore, learning Python is also useful when you wish to use a framework for deep learning.

Python is an optimal programming language, particularly in data science, as it offers various user-friendly and efficient features for beginners and professionals alike. For these reasons, it is the natural choice for achieving the goal of this book: Deep Learning from the Basics.
