Deep Learning From Basics to Practice

Version history

Big thanks to everyone who spotted and reported an error! In the list below, I've listed the name of the first sharp-eyed reader to spot each problem.

The online files will always contain the most recent version. If you've downloaded the book already, visit your Kindle library page to see if there's a new version available. If so, there will be a button to let you replace your current version with the new one, for free. If you're curious about which version you have, it's on the copyright page for each volume. I can only update the published files infrequently, so mostly I'll let them accumulate here until the number is overwhelming, or there's a really big error needing correcting.

Throughout the book I capitalize "Figure" and "Listing" when referring to a specific object, because in that context it's a name and thus a proper noun. So we'd see, "There is a figure below," and "The idea is shown in Figure 5-3." Style guidelines vary; this is the approach that makes sense to me.

Version 1.1

Page x, multiple references(Jim Blinn): Some hyperlinks in the reference section contain an extra space at the end of the link. Others contain a space at the line break if the link is longer than one line. These appear to be artifacts of how hyperlinks are handled by the layout software. If a link fails for you, look for these extra internal or trailing spaces, and delete them after pasting the link into your browser's address bar.
