This TensorFlow book introduces the framework and the underlying machine learning concepts that are important to harness machine intelligence.

This booked is aimed an audience with a basic operating understanding of calculus, matrices, and Python programming. Approaching this material without this back‐ ground is possible, but likely to be more challenging. Background in linear algebra may also be helpful in navigating certain sections of mathematical exposition. By the end of the book, we hope that our readers will be left with an intuition for how to approach problems using deep learning, the historical context for modern deep learning approaches, and a familiarity with implementing deep learning algorithms using the TensorFlow open source library

This book is written for two kinds of readers. The first type of reader is one who plans to study Deep Learning in a systematic approach for further research and development. This reader should read all the content from the beginning to end. The example code will be especially helpful for further understanding the concepts. A good deal of effort has been made to construct adequate examples and implement them. The code examples are constructed to be easy to read and understand. They are written in MATLAB for better legibility. There is no better programming language than MATLAB at being able to handle the matrices of Deep Learning in a simple and intuitive manner. The example code uses only basic functions and grammar, so that even those who are not familiar with MATLAB can easily understand the concepts. For those who are familiar with programming, the example code may be easier to understand than the text of this book. The other kind of reader is one who wants more in-depth information about Deep Learning than what can be obtained from magazines or newspapers, yet doesn’t want to study formally. These readers can skip the example code and briefly go over the explanations of the concepts. Such readers may especially want to skip the learning rules of the neural network.
