Free “Deep Learning” Book by Google Researchers
From Google Brain team, three researchers have been co-authoring a book on Deep Machine Learning for 2.5 years. And on its completion, they have just published the whole book online for free:

It covers “classical” artificial neural networks. This means you can start with this book even if you are new to ANNs. The later sections cover “real deep learning”. Plus the language is great for beginners and users. You don’t have to be an advanced math geek to follow everything.
Authors write: “This book can be useful for a variety of readers, but we wrote it with two main target audiences in mind. One of these target audiences is university students(undergraduate or graduate) learning about machine learning, including those who are beginning a career in deep learning and artificial intelligence research. The other target audience is software engineers who do not have a machine learning or statistics background, but want to rapidly acquire one and begin using deep learning in their product or platform.”
Happy Learning Deep Learning!
