Where can I send feedback about an Early Access title?

If you have any feedback about the product you're reading, or Early Access in general, then please fill out a contact form here and we'll make sure the feedback gets to the right team.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles?

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date?

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready?

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter. The new chapters are automatically added to your account, so you can also check back there any time you're ready and download or read them online.

I am a Packt subscriber, do I get Early Access?

Yes, all Early Access content is fully available through your subscription. You will need to have a paid for or active trial subscription in order to access all titles.

This book gives a very good overview of the various algorithms to get one started in deep learning. I have especially liked the fact that it walks the reader through multiple use cases across all the algorithms. Additionally, it has a broad coverage including CNN, RNN, RL, Auto encoders, Capsule networks and even the implementation of tensorflow on mobile devices.Definitely a great buy!

Even for a good chef a recipe book always come handy, and thanks to the authors all Deep Learning professionals, enthusiasts, or beginners will have this Cookbook for consulting. From simple Linear Regressions to Generative Adversarial Networks you will find easy recipes to follow and learn how to implement all these kind of networks.

I bought this book (physical copy) from the Packt based on reading the author's previous book(on Keras). I have enjoyed the previous book and use it extensively because of its practical implementation approach. The same is followed here (but for core tensorflow instead of Keras). The cookbook approach helps a lot for tensorflow. Apart from CNNs, RNNS etc the book also covers Tensorflow mobile (which is of interest for me personally). The section on distributed tensorflow(Chapter 12) was new and interesting for me. Like in the first book, I referred to the author's git repo which I found useful. I used this book mainly to get a deeper understanding of tensorflow(I was starting from keras). It is also a good approach to learning tensorflow itself because of the cookbook approach. It even talks of Capsule networks. Hence, at the time of review(Jan 18) - its as current as Tensorflow can be. The distributed tensorflow also covers Azure and Amazon in addition to Google cloud(was nice to see the open approach). finally, I suggest that future versions of the book could expand on TPUs(also an interest for me based on my work)

I thought this was an awesome book that tries to teach a fairly complex framework like Tensorflow (TF) in a very accessible way. While the TF project does provide very good tutorials, the learning curve is quite steep. This book does require some familiarity with Python, but I think the learning curve to master TF using this book is considerably less steep than using the TF tutorials. In addition, it covers an incredible number of network architectures in quite a lot of depth. As expected from the Cookbook format, it also provides code that implements many of these architectures that you could use to jump start your own project. Overall, I think it is a very useful book that has enhanced my own understanding of many TF features and opened up the possibility to build some networks I wouldn't have thought to do before this.Disclaimer: I am a co-author on another book with one of the authors of this book, and reviewed some of the chapters as they were written. However, I did pay for the book (even though it was only $5 during the PackT Christmas sale) and I did go through the post-publication version of the book, and my review is based on this version.

I bought the book on Packt. But their review system is surely confusing. So leaving a review here.This book has been an absolutely a great investment of both time and money. Money of course was the trivial part here.As a matter of specialization, I have chosen to focus on vision based technologies but I was finding it difficult to resist the temptation of delving into the broader subject of deep learning across the spectrum.With not such a great hold of Mathematics, I had been reluctant, until now.The book simplifies working across platform. Apart from the regular Ubuntu based instructions, it comes with excellent documentation for Windows users too.While most DL enthusiasts are working with GPUs, the book also covers (and accurately) the CPU platforms. Both for Ubuntu and Windows.I covered the book across a long and busy schedule of project deadlines and travel. I had my lazy moments where I stuck to completing the rituals of the recipe and not go into conceptual depths. It didn't hamper my progress in the next chapters though.Apart from well laid out recipes, the interested learners can delve into the complex Mathematics too at their discretion.I will highly recommend the book for busy executives and engineers who want to have a smooth preview and a handheld tour of the potential of Deep Learning in their respective domains.
