I was wondering if in retrospect you would have preferred reading the Goodfellow deep learning book vs. this?
- disgruntledphd2 6y agoI've read both, and I would strongly recommend ISL first as it's much broader and covers the basics much much better than the Goodfellow book.
- lukejduncan 6y agoAgreed. I’ve read both and would also recommend this first. The good fellow book goes deep fast. This was my review at the time https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2196621333 https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2196621333 That said, if your choice is more general, statistical learning vs deep learning, I’m sure at this point you can find more approachable deep learning primers. This book just isn’t it IMHO.
