Generative Deep Learning

In 'Generative Deep Learning, Second Edition,' David Foster explores how advanced deep learning models create art, music, and text. This updated edition provides hands-on guidance on foundational concepts and cutting-edge techniques, including Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), transformers, and diffusion models. Readers will learn practical implementations for realistic image synthesis, music composition, and coherent text generation using TensorFlow and PyTorch, complemented by a theoretical foreword from neuroscientist Karl Friston.Why You Should Read?
