めまぐるしく進化する深層学習の世界の重要トピックを網羅し、最前線と先端的な手法を学べる、最新にして充実したMIT Pressの権威あるテキスト。極度に専門的な詳細に分け入りがちな類書と異なり、必修の最重要アイデアを凝縮し直感的に消化できるように配慮された、自習にも適したテキスト。Many deep learning texts are crowded with technical details that obscure fundamentals, but Simon Prince ruthlessly curates only the most important ideas to provide a high density of critical information in an intuitive and digestible form. From machine learning basics to advanced models, each concept is presented in lay terms and then detailed precisely in mathematical form and illustrated visually. The result is a lucid, self-contained textbook suitable for anyone with a basic background in applied mathematics.
