Top 8 Books To Learn Convolutional Neural Networks
LeNet, developed by French computer scientist Yann Lecun, was the frontrunner to the convolutional neural network (CNN). His breakthrough came when he conceived a neural network modelled on the human visual cortex. He called it a convolutional neural network, inspired by Kunihiko Fukushima, a Japanese computer scientist. CNNs process an image by dividing it into squares, analysing each one separately to find small patterns, and later piecing them together to make sense, just like the human brain’s visual cortex. The Turing award winner changed computer vision and, for that matter, artificial intelligence forever with CNNs. Convolutional neural networks are made of multiple layers of artificial neurons that calculate the weighted sum of various inputs and produces an activation value. The primary application areas of CNN include image recognition, image classification, object detection, and face recognition. Here, we have curated a list of the top best books to learn CNNs. Java deep learning cookbook Deeplearning4j is one of the most popular Java libraries for training neural networks efficiently. This book by Rahul Raj offers ways to perform deep learning using the same library. At the very start, the book will help the user install and configure Java and DL4J on their systems. The book delves deep into anomaly detection of unsupervised data and effectively setting up neural networks in distributed systems. It also explains how to import models from Keras and modify the configuration of a pre-trained DL4J model and optimise neural networks for the best results. Find the book here.
