Neural Networks and Deep Learning

Neural networks are one of the most beautiful programming paradigms ever invented. In the conventional approach to prog

It's not uncommon for technical books to include an admonition from the author that readers must do the exercises and pr

The human visual system is one of the wonders of the world. Consider the following sequence of handwritten digits: img

In the last chapter we saw how neural networks can learn their weights and biases using the gradient descent algorithm.

When a golf player is first learning to play golf, they usually spend most of their time developing a basic swing. Only

One of the most striking facts about neural networks is that they can compute any function at all. That is, suppose som

Imagine you're an engineer who has been asked to design a computer from scratch. One day you're working away in your of

In the last chapter we learned that deep neural networks are often much harder to train than shallow neural networks. Th
