Deep Learning For Dummies 1st Edition

This is still a rather theoretical book with a lot of math involved. Not simplified in a "For Dummies" style book

I think there are better ways to explain certain subjects of this book. I have to consult WEB frequently to get more material and I encounter better explanations in WEB, otherwise, by reading only this book, the picture is too fuzzy and has gaps. I think the rule "explain it, as you would do to a 6 years old" is not followed here. I have some ML projects under my belt and I still struggle with this book. Some sentences are too long and the meaning escapes. It is not for dummies..It is a challenging book even for semi-professionals.But I appreciate this book anyway.I think the intention is good.I would add:- explanations to each line of the code.- shorten some sentences and make them clean- add more explanations in every area

Given the age of the book and how fast deep learning develops, i can't recommend buying this book, but it could be worth borrowing form a library. It may be of some interest to the reader because of the history of machine learning in general and deep learning in particular that is included.The Python code is presented to run under Keras/Tensorflow, but these fragments are presented merely as examples of the framework's capabilities, and simply aren't explained in detail enough to teach the reader how to use it. There are the usual typos and oddly constructed sentences you see in just about every tech book.
