Deep Learning is a comprehensive textbook that introduces the foundations and techniques of deep learning, a subfield of machine learning focused on algorithms inspired by the structure and function of the brain. It covers topics such as linear algebra, probability, numerical computation, and machine learning basics, before delving into deep feedforward networks, regularization, optimization, convolutional networks, sequence modeling, and practical methodologies. The book also explores deep generative models and the theoretical underpinnings of deep learning systems.

Mathematical Foundations: The Language of Learning

If deep learning is a universal function approximator, mathematics is the grammar that articulates its logic. We start with linear algebra because everything in modern learning—data, parameters, and transformations—exists as tensors. Understanding vectors and matrices is more than symbolic manipulat...

Foundations of Machine Learning: How Machines Learn from Experience

Machine learning can be understood as building algorithms that improve with experience. We frame this experience mathematically: given examples (x, y), we learn a function f(x) that predicts y with minimal error. In supervised learning, that mapping is explicit. In unsupervised learning, we seek str...
