I am the author of five books. Three on Deep Learning and neural networks (published by Springer/APRESS) and two on the statistics and the fundamentals of machine learning (published by Springer Nature). In them, I explain all the theory necessary to really understand how the methods used with neural networks work and how to implement them in Python and in particular in Keras (TensorFlow) (in the APRESS Books). In April 2022 the second edition of my book “Applied Deep Learning” was out and was completely updated for TensorFlow 2 and Keras and I added lots of content as autoencoders and GANs.

Examples of Book Reviews

Review of Applied Deep Learning with TensorFlow 2.

“This text serves as a valuable resource for those seeking a thorough mathematical grounding in machine learning, enabling readers to approach scientific applications with enhanced analytical rigor. The book successfully bridges the gap between abstract mathematical theory and practical machine learning implementation, making it a significant contribution to the literature.” (Elira Shaska, zbMATH 1559.68002, 2025)
