How machines learn. A revolution in neural networks and deep learning

We live in a time of revolution, which just 50 years ago seemed incredible, — a revolution in smart machines that now learn on their own instead of just executing programmed commands. And the capabilities of such machines are immense: image, face, and voice recognition, translations into hundreds of languages, autonomous driving of cars, detection of tumors in medical images, and much more.

The author of the book, Yann LeCun, is at the forefront of this revolution. A Turing Award laureate and a professor at New York University, he is one of the inventors of deep learning applied to so-called artificial neural networks, the architecture and functioning of which are inspired by the workings of the human brain. In his book, he shares his scientific approach at the intersection of computer science and neurobiology without resorting to metaphors, shedding light on the future of artificial intelligence, the challenges and prospects associated with it.

Today, artificial intelligence is indeed changing society. This clear and accessible book will take you to the very heart of the machine, opening up a new exciting world that is already our reality.
