Introduction to Deep Learning and Neural Networks with Python™: A Practical Guide

Introduction to Deep Learning and Neural Networks with Python™: A Practical Guide is an intensive step-by-step guide for neuroscientists to fully understand, practice, and build neural networks. Providing math and Python™ code examples to clarify neural network calculations, by book’s end readers will fully understand how neural networks work starting from the simplest model Y=X and building from scratch. Details and explanations are provided on how a generic gradient descent algorithm works based on mathematical and Python™ examples, teaching you how to use the gradient descent algorithm to manually perform all calculations in both the forward and backward passes of training a neural network.
