The Science of Deep Learning emerged from courses taught by the author that have provided
thousands of students with training and experience for their academic studies, and prepared them for
careers in deep learning, machine learning, and artificial intelligence in top companies in industry and
academia. The book begins by covering the foundations of deep learning followed by key
architectures. Subsequent parts on generative models and reinforcement learning may be used as
part of a deep learning course or as part of a course on each topic. The book includes state-of-the-art
topics such as transformers, graph neural networks, variational autoencoders, and deep
reinforcement learning. Appendices provide equations for computing gradients in back propagation
and optimization. The text presents an up-to-date guide to the field built upon clear visualizations
using a unified notation and equations, lowering the entry barrier for the reader. The accompanying
website provides complementary code and hundreds of exercises with solutions.
Key features

Reviews
‘In the avalanche of books on Deep Learning, this one stands out. Iddo Drori has mastered
reinforcement learning – in its technical meaning and in his successful, commonsense approach to
teaching and understanding.'
