Who Should Read This Book
You don’t need math or programming experience. You don’t need to be a computer whiz. You don’t have to be a technologist at all!
This book is for anyone with curiosity and a desire to look behind the headlines. You may be surprised that most of the algorithms of deep learning aren’t very complicated or hard to understand. They’re usually simple and elegant and gain their power by being repeated millions of times over huge databases.
In addition to satisfying pure intellectual curiosity, Glassner wrote this book for people who come face to face with deep learning, either in their own work or when interacting with others who use it. After all, one of the best reasons to understand AI is so we can use it ourselves! We can build AI systems now that help us do our work better, enjoy our hobbies more deeply, and understand the world around us more fully.
If you want to know how this stuff works, you’re going to feel right at home.
