Synopsis

Deep learning is an artificial intelligence technology that enables computer vision, speech recognition in mobile phones, machine translation, AI games, driverless cars, and other applications. When we use consumer products from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Apple, or Baidu, we are often interacting with a deep learning system. In this volume in the MIT Press Essential Knowledge series, computer scientist John Kelleher offers an accessible and concise but comprehensive introduction to the fundamental technology at the heart of the artificial intelligence revolution.

Kelleher explains some of the basic concepts in deep learning, presents a history of advances in the field, and discusses the current state of the art. He describes the most important deep learning architectures, including autoencoders, recurrent neural networks, and long short-term networks, as well as such recent developments as Generative Adversarial Networks and capsule networks. He also provides a comprehensive introduction to the two fundamental algorithms in deep learning: gradient descent and backpropagation. Finally, Kelleher considers the future of deep learning—major trends, possible developments, and significant challenges.

Goodreads review by Brian on November 05, 2019

This is an entry in a series from the MIT Press that selects a small part of a topic (in this case, a subset of artificial intelligence) and gives it an 'essential knowledge' introduction. The problem is, there seems to be no consistency over the target audience of the series. I previously reviewed V......more

Goodreads review by Thomas on October 24, 2019

This book satisfied most of the initial expectations I had about it's content: It provided a comprehensive overview of the origins of the field of machine learning and AI, covered all the technical bases of modern neural networks such as RNNs (for language processing), CNNs (for image processing), G......more

Goodreads review by Morgan on November 27, 2023

This book is actually pretty technical. With a good amount of mathematics. And as such may not be SUPER useful to a general audience. So why read it? Well… I include myself in the average reader - general audience category. I’m a therapist with some training in cognitive neuroscience and learning the......more

Goodreads review by Sebastian on February 15, 2020

An excellent introduction to the theoretical basis for one of the most important technologies of the 21st century. Thankfully, Kelleher doesn't completely eschew mathematics; even so at times more rigorous mathematical explanations may have aided understanding, at least for those mathematically incl......more

Goodreads review by Héctor Iván on February 24, 2025

Es una excelente introducción al Deep Learning y al campo de la inteligencia artificial moderna en general. Me gusta mucho la característica de esta serie de ser lo suficientemente introductoria para no intimidarte, pero profundizar lo suficiente en pocas páginas para que sientas que de verdad apren......more
