商品描述

The release of ChatGPT has kicked off an arms race in Machine Learning (ML), however ML has also been described as a black box and very hard to understand.Machine Learning, Animated eases you into basic ML concepts and summarises the learning process in three words: initialize, adjust and repeat. This is illustrated step by step with animation to show how machines learn: from initial parameter values to adjusting each step, to the final converged parameters and predictions.

This book teaches readers to create their own neural networks with dense and convolutional layers, and use them to make binary and multi-category classifications. Readers will learn how to build deep learning game strategies and combine this with reinforcement learning, witnessing AI achieve super-human performance in Atari games such as Breakout, Space Invaders, Seaquest and Beam Rider.

Written in a clear and concise style, illustrated with animations and images, this book is particularly appealing to readers with no background in computer science, mathematics or statistics.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

ChatGPT的發布引發了機器學習(ML)領域的一場競爭,然而ML也被描述為一個黑盒子,非常難以理解。《Machine Learning, Animated》以動畫方式引導讀者進入基本的ML概念,並用三個詞彙概括了學習過程:初始化、調整和重複。這一過程通過動畫逐步展示,展示了機器學習的過程:從初始參數值到每一步的調整,再到最終收斂的參數和預測結果。

本書教授讀者如何使用全連接層和卷積層創建自己的神經網絡,並將其用於二元和多類別分類。讀者將學習如何構建深度學習遊戲策略,並將其與強化學習相結合,目睹人工智能在Atari遊戲(如Breakout、Space Invaders、Seaquest和Beam Rider)中實現超人類表現。

本書以清晰簡潔的風格撰寫,並配有動畫和圖片,特別適合沒有計算機科學、數學或統計學背景的讀者。
