I've been slowly working my way through this book for the past couple months. It's been amazingly helpful in learning all of the deep learning terminology, and giving a good overview of the technology.

I was doing all of the examples and exercises for a while, but gave up on that at some point. My main goal, after all, was to learn about how the technology works in order to separate the wheat from the chaff, not become an AI researcher.

Note that it's a discussion of the book itself and not of the book review.

This book review is interesting in that it gives a number of the best known books to learn about deep learning.

Okay book, starts well but increasingly relies on math rather than an intuitive description of concepts at least to give you some context, had to go outside of the book at lot on later chapters, and found the diagrams decreasingly useful. The later chapters are more advanced to be fair
