Deep Learning: Foundations and Concepts

Very well Scripted and Illustrated

It is so satisfying to see in each chapter how the authors start with basic, simple concepts and then lead you to the amazing capabilities of deep learning.

Great overview of modern neural networks. It's really a little bit like if you take the chapter on neural networks in Bishop's previous book (Pattern Recognition and Machine Learning) and imagine that expanded out with all the new ideas in neural networks from the past 15 years. This is that book. I got a lot out of the chapters on Transformers/Attention, Diffusion and Graph Neural Networks. Also very readable.

Good insightful book

I have many books on Deep Learning and this is the first that presents the subject in a coherent, well thought out manner. Each topic is introduced carefully, explained well with relevant pointers to other fields/work. The underlying statistics are clearly presented in a logical manner. The connections between many of the techniques used are clearly exposed. It's a delight to read and I would recommend it wholeheartedly.

Great textbook for anyone serious about mastering deep learning. Its exceptional balance of theoretical depth and practical application, combined with high-quality print and well-designed exercises, makes it a standout resource in the field.

Hundreds of formulae in the book inverted the closing bracket of the left-hand-side of the equation with the "=" sign. See the below example with Bayes' Theorem. Fortunately the Amazon returns policy was straightforward.

Best of the best

Deep Learning: Foundations and Concepts by Christopher M. Bishop and Hugh Bishop is a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the world of deep learning. The book effectively balances theoretical depth with practical insights, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced practitioners. Key strengths of the book include: Clear and concise explanations: The authors do an excellent job of breaking down complex concepts into easily understandable terms, making the material accessible to a wide range of readers. Strong mathematical foundation: The book provides a solid mathematical foundation for understanding deep learning algorithms, but it avoids excessive mathematical formalism, making it engaging for readers with varying levels of mathematical background. Practical applications: The book covers a wide range of real-world applications, such as computer vision, natural language processing, and speech recognition, providing practical examples to illustrate the concepts. Up-to-date coverage: The book covers the latest advancements in deep learning, including attention mechanisms, transformer models, and generative adversarial networks. Potential areas for improvement: More hands-on exercises: While the book provides theoretical explanations, it could benefit from more practical exercises and coding examples to reinforce learning. Deeper dives into specific topics: For readers who want to delve deeper into specific topics, such as reinforcement learning or unsupervised learning, additional resources or references could be helpful. Overall, Deep Learning: Foundations and Concepts is an excellent resource for anyone interested in learning about deep learning. It provides a clear and comprehensive introduction to the field, making it a valuable addition to any machine learning enthusiast's library.

Great book! Book is available online to read, but it makes it difficult to study and learn from. Arrived on time in pristine condition.

This book continues the Bishops' tradition of writing accessible and clear yet rigorous treatment of machine learning/deep learning content. The transformers and diffusion chapters fantastic, and exactly what I was looking for. The authors share solutions to end of chapter questions which is perfect for students and self- learners alike. You can scan the book on their site, but this one is a *must have* for your bookshelf. If you need any more reason to purchase this book immediately, LeCun, Bengio and Hinton all wrote highly supportive reviews (see site).

Goodfellow'un 2016 basimli DL kitabi uzerine alanda cok fazla gelisme oldu. DL alaninda teori-matematik bilgileri tazelemek-guncellemek icin iyi bir textbook.

Sehr schönes Buch. Klar und übersichtlich, guter Druck auf gutem Papier. Guter Aufbau des Stoffes. Da ich erst begonnen habe, das Buch durchzuarbeiten, kann ich zu den Details noch nicht all zu viel sagen. Das Schmökern lässt jedoch vermuten, dass dieses Buch die wesentlichen Aspekte des 'Deep Learning' sehr gut zu vermitteln weiss. Das Buch kam aus Indien, Verpackung ungenügend wie immer bei Amazon in der letzten Zeit, daher beschädigte Ecken. Sehr schade! Amazon sollte hinsichtlich Verpackung wirklich eine Anstrengung unternehmen, auch wenn das geringfügig mehr für den Kunden kostet.
