What book are people recommending for Deep Neural Networks?

I’m working through ISLR (starting ch8) so I’ll be done in a few weeks.

This topic isn’t covered so another textbook, with exercises, would be ideal.

Just noticed that this paper is a book. Maybe I have a winner?



The Deep Learning book is great & I have a copy, but its not honestly something that I read cover to cover.

To me, Its more of a reference book.

But if you want a "Fyneman" type book that describes the underlying structure & workings in a non academic way, I would recommend;

Michael Nielsen's Neural Networks & Deep Learning[0]

Jeff Heaton's Introduction To The Math Of Neural Networks[1]

Have been hearing good things about this - http://d2l.ai/

Have to get to it soon.


This paper seems really interesting, and it’s geared towards applications I guess

For more fundamental material I like the CS231n course notes [0] and Goodfellow, Bengio, and Courville [1]

The Hundred-Page Machine Learning Book by Andriy Burkov - is quite highly regarded and to the point.
