Diving into deep learning: Understanding Deep Learning book review [pdf]
- chromaton 2y agoI'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.

- woolion 2y agoNote 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.
- asicsp 2y agoAh, thanks for the correction. I saw the title and remembered the earlier discussion - only paid attention to the github repo and not that the link led to a different pdf. I also missed 'review' mentioned here in the title.
- ofou 2y agoThe 'delves' style, and word usage confirmed me that the review was written using ChatGPT.
- farleykr 2y agoWhat is the ‘delves’ style?
- a_bonobo 2y agoThere is some circumstantial evidence that the word 'delves' implies that ChatGPT wrote it. Some evidence here: https://arxiv.org/html/2406.07016v2 https://arxiv.org/html/2406.07016v2 >Less common words with strong excess usage included delves (=28.0), showcasing (=10.2) and underscores (=10.9), together with their grammatical inflections (Figure 2a). But of course, that isn't a smoking gun, it might just be coincidence. The linked arxiv paper itself uses 'delves', probably tongue-in-cheek :)
- ingen0s 2y ago'delves' is now part of my regular vocabulary because of GPT lol
- danielmarkbruce 2y agoGreat book.
- mehh 2y agoOkay 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

- throwaway81523 2y agoSo is the review any good, "delves" notwithstanding?
- d13 2y agoNo, it’s bizarrely poorly written, even for an LLM.
- v3ss0n 2y agoAny good book opensourced like this with a bit more developer friendly version? this one is too much mathematical friendly.
