We’re in the midst of an AI research explosion. Deep learning
has unlocked superhuman perception to power our push
toward creating self-driving vehicles, defeating human experts
at a variety of difficult games including Go, and even generating
essays with shockingly coherent prose. But deciphering these
breakthroughs often takes a PhD in machine learning and
mathematics.
The updated second edition of this book describes the intuition
behind these innovations without jargon or complexity.
Python-proficient programmers, software engineering
professionals, and computer science majors will be able to
reimplement these breakthroughs on their own and reason
about them with a level of sophistication that rivals some of the
best developers in the field.
