Sneak Preview: Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python

Wow, the Kickstarter launch date of January 18th is approaching so fast!

I still have a ton of work to do and I’m neck-deep in Kickstarter logistics, but I took a few minutes earlier today and recorded this sneak preview of Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python just for you:

The video is fairly short at only 2m51s, and it’s absolutely worth the watch, but if you don’t have enough time to watch it, you can read the gist below:

• 0m09s: I show the output of training AlexNet from scratch on the massive ImageNet dataset — which I’ll be showing you exactly how to do inside my book.
• 0m37s: I discuss how this book has one goal: to help developers, researchers, and students just like yourself become experts in deep learning computer vision.
• 0m44s: Whether this is the first time you’ve worked with deep learning and neural networks or you’re already a seasoned deep learning practitioner, this book is engineered from the ground up to help you reach expert status.
• 0m58s: I provide a high level overview of the topics that will be covered inside my deep learning for computer vision book.
• 1m11s: I reveal the programming language (Python) and the libraries we’ll be using (Keras and mxnet) to build deep learning networks.
• 1m24s: Since we’ll be covering a massive amount of topics, I’ll be breaking the book down into volumes called “bundles”. You’ll be able to choose a bundle based on how in-depth you want to study deep learning, along with your particular budget.
• 1m38s: Each bundle will include the eBook files, video tutorials and walkthroughs, source code listings, access to the companion website, and a downloadable pre-configured Ubuntu VM.
• The Kickstarter campaign will be going live on Wednesday, January 18th at 10AM EST — I hope to see you on the Kickstarter backer list.

Like I said, if you have the time, the sneak preview is definitely worth the watch.

And I hope that you support the Deep Learning for Computer Vision with Python Kickstarter campaign on Wednesday, January 18th at 10AM EST — if you’re serious about becoming a deep learning expert, then this book will be the perfect fit for you!
