Written by Google AI researcher François Chollet, the creator of Keras, this revised edition has been updated with new chapters, new tools, and cutting-edge techniques drawn from the latest research. You'll build your understanding through practical examples and intuitive explanations that make the complexities of deep learning accessible and understandable.

about the technology
Machine learning has made remarkable progress in recent years. We've gone from near-unusable speech recognition, to near-human accuracy. From machines that couldn't beat a serious Go player, to defeating a world champion. Medical imaging diagnostics, weather forecasting, and natural language question answering have suddenly become tractable problems. Behind this progress is deep learning—a combination of engineering advances, best practices, and theory that enables a wealth of previously impossible smart applications across every industry sector
