The Deep Learning Revolution

I disagree with the other reviews that state this is purely a 'memoir.' It is more than that. Terry describes the evolution of neural networks and the personalities that helped the field along the way. He was a part of it, hence the 'memior' theme, but goes beyond his own contributions and neatly out......more

This book is not about deep learning. You'll learn more about how the eye works than anything else.. was interesting, just not really even remotely what I was expecting given the title.........more

4.5/5. Good book with many historical details. The author is clearly at the forefront of research and I liked that he gives references (up to 2017). But I wish there would be more details in places. I am aware that this book is not a textbook but I wish the Sejnowski would provide more technical det......more

这大佬前面也只是顺带介绍深度学习领域的基础算法和脉络就已经很深奥了，差点就读不下去了（当然有人认为科普著作写这些也没有必要），但是中间有介绍很多你之前从未了解过的人（包括很多女性，例如天才物理学少女 Misha Mahowald，她19岁就创造了世界上第一个硅视网膜。）这些人极具智识，你可能大致会感觉到世界很复杂，但真正看到复杂系统的诞生的时候，你仍然会惊异这种顶级智慧高度集中的领域，并且感叹智力上限（和下限一样）是没有边界的。......more

This is a review of the developments in machine learning based around neural networks mostly since the 1980s, but with some look back at earlier developments. Even within that domain I expect he focuses on particular subsections. The account starts with some recent achievements of machine learning s......more
