Written by Keras creator and Google AI researcher François Chollet, this book builds your understanding through intuitive explanations and practical examples. Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications. Machine learning has made remarkable progress in recent years. We went from near-unusable speech and image recognition, to near-human accuracy. We went from machines that couldn't beat a serious Go player, to defeating a world champion. Behind this progress is deep learning—a combination of engineering advances, best practices, and theory that enables a wealth of previously impossible smart applications. introduces the field of deep learning using the Python language and the powerful Keras library. Written by Keras creator and Google AI researcher François Chollet, this book builds your understanding through intuitive explanations and practical examples. You'll explore challenging concepts and practice with applications in computer vision, natural-language processing, and generative models. By the time you finish, you'll have the knowledge and hands-on skills to apply deep learning in your own projects. Readers need intermediate Python skills. No previous experience with Keras, TensorFlow, or machine learning is required. is one of the most important researchers in modern day deep learning. His groundbreaking work includes the creation of the Keras deep learning library, and major contributions to the TensorFlow framework. These tools have helped revolutionize and democratize deep learning. François is an AI researcher and Senior Staff Software Engineer at Google. François authored Deep Learning with R alongside J.J. Allaire, and developed the Abstraction and Reasoning Challenge that measures AI skill-acquisition on unknown tasks.
