Foundations of Computer Vision by Antonio Torralba, Phillip Isola, and Bill Freeman available today and published by The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social. I haven't read it yet, but almost certain to be worth reading given the pedigree of the authors.

New fancy website for 'Understanding Deep Learning' book at udlbook.com including links to many other articles I've written on NLP, responsible AI, graphical models, optimization, computer vision, math for ML, transformers etc.

I'm delighted to say that 'Understanding Deep Learning' (pdf at udlbook.com) has just been reprinted by The MIT Press @mitpress.bsky.social and is available once more from Amazon and other booksellers.

As of this morning, there have been 250,000 downloads of Understanding Deep Learning (udlbook.com). I'm amazed, humbled, and extremely grateful for everyone's support.

It's still out of print, but will be available again in the next couple of weeks!

If you are having trouble getting hold of 'Understanding Deep Learning', it's because the first printing has sold out. New copies should be available early March.

You can pre-order via:

Full PDF still available via udlbook.com.

Part II of our blog series shows that in the infinite width limit, neural networks become linear in their parameters. Surprisingly, this allows us to write closed-form solutions for the training evolution. These dynamics depend on the neural tangent kernel (NTK).

If you are enjoying my book and want to learn more about transformers and language models, you might want to check out this set of articles I wrote for Borealis AI.

Here are some other books about ML and Deep Learning that I recommend:

Are you teaching a deep learning course this semester? In addition to the other resources on the book website (udlbook.com), I've recently added my Powerpoint slides for a 20 lecture 2nd year undergraduate course. Follows the book closely.

The enigma of why deep NNs work so well, the spline theory of NNs, experimentation vs. theory. I get confused as Tim talks about 'Fristonian cat-flaps'. I challenge Tim to take responsibility for AGI. Will he?

Excited to share my review of 'Understanding Deep Learning' by ⁦Simon Prince⁩! This book is a treasure trove for anyone interested in DL. It masterfully compiles the latest developments in the field, making complex concepts accessible & engaging.

Do we really 'Understand Deep Learning'? Why a chapter on ethics? Will there be another AI winter?
