Visual learners will love this
Format: Paperback
This book is amazing for the visual learner! I've taken numerous online classes that use animated videos to explain deep learning concepts visually, but this book accomplishes the same thing in print! I've also purchased deep learning books with pages and pages of formulas and hardly any illustrations. My brain can't process symbolic math without a picture. Kudos on creating something truly unique and super valuable.
