Neural networks are at the heart of AI—so ensure you’re on the cutting edge with this guide! For true beginners, get a crash course in Python and the mathematical concepts you’ll need to understand and create neural networks. Or jump right into programming your first neural network, from implementing the scikit-learn library to using the perceptron learning algorithm. Learn how to train your neural network, measure errors, make use of transfer learning, implement the CRISP-DM model, and more. Whether you’re interested in machine learning, gen AI, LLMs, deep learning, or all of the above, this is the AI book you need!
- Your practical introduction to programming neural networks
- Develop and train simple and multi-layer networks with Python
- Learn about algorithms, activation functions, transformers, and more
