I am hoping this book earns five stars, and will come back and update this rating if the typo I found on day one is an aberration. I ordered this book back in May and was very pleased to get it; so far it is excellent and exactly at the level I need: I am a sometime practitioner of machine learning and AI using a range of open source and off-the-shelf tools. I have moved more strongly into Python as i mostly deal with text and NLTK and python have bee easier / faster for me to pick up and use than java-syntric approaches. So moving into deep learning is a big step but I feel I am well prepared, and the level and degree of "refreshers" here, from linear algebra tp statistics are hitting just the right depth and tone. I initially thought my Kindle software was broken when searching for the first occurrence of "SGD" didn't show up; I remembered it was referred to as the "canonical" solution to solving a system of linear in an iterative fashion, but forgot what it stood for.
