We are living in a revolution that seemed incredible 50 years ago, a revolution in intelligent machines that now learn on their own instead of just executing pre-programmed commands. And the capabilities of such machines are huge: recognition of images, faces and voices, translations into hundreds of languages, unmanned driving cars, detection of tumors in medical images and much more.
The author of the book, Jan LeCun, is at the origins of this revolution. A Turing Prize-winning professor at New York University and head of basic research, he is one of the inventors of deep learning applied to so-called artificial neural networks, whose architecture and functioning are inspired by the human brain. In his book, without resorting to metaphors, he shares his scientific approach at the intersection of computer science and neuroscience, shedding light on the future of artificial intelligence, related problems and prospects.
Artificial intelligence is changing our society. This comprehensible and accessible book takes you to the heart of the machine, revealing a fascinating new world that is already our reality.
