If you’re ready to venture beyond introductory concepts and dig deeper into machine learning, deep learning, and AI, the question-and-answer format of Machine Learning Q and AI will make things fast and easy for you, without a lot of mucking about.
Born out of questions often fielded by author Sebastian Raschka, the direct, no-nonsense approach of this book makes advanced topics more accessible and genuinely engaging. Each brief, self-contained chapter journeys through a fundamental question in AI, unraveling it with clear explanations, diagrams, and hands-on exercises.
WHAT'S INSIDE:
FOCUSED CHAPTERS: Key questions in AI are answered concisely, and complex ideas are broken down into easily digestible parts.
WIDE RANGE OF TOPICS: Raschka covers topics ranging from neural network architectures and model evaluation to computer vision and natural language processing.
PRACTICAL APPLICATIONS: Learn techniques for enhancing model performance, fine-tuning large models, and more.
You’ll also explore how to:
• Manage the various sources of randomness in neural network training
• Differentiate between encoder and decoder architectures in large language models
• Reduce overfitting through data and model modifications
• Construct confidence intervals for classifiers and optimize models with limited labeled data
• Choose between different multi-GPU training paradigms and different types of generative AI models
• Understand performance metrics for natural language processing
• Make sense of the inductive biases in vision transformers
If you’ve been on the hunt for the perfect resource to elevate your understanding of machine learning, Machine Learning Q and AI will make it easy for you to painlessly advance your knowledge beyond the basics.
Review
–Cameron R. Wolfe, Writer of Deep (Learning) Focus
“Sebastian uniquely combines academic depth, engineering agility, and the ability to demystify complex ideas. He can go deep into any theoretical topics, experiment to validate new ideas, then explain them all to you in simple words. If you’re starting your journey into machine learning, Sebastian is your guide.”
–Chip Huyen, Author of Designing Machine Learning Systems
“Sebastian Raschka's new book, Machine Learning Q and AI, is a one-stop shop for overviews of crucial AI topics beyond the core covered in most introductory courses...If you have already stepped into the world of AI via deep neural networks, then this book will give you what you need to locate and understand the next level.”
–Ronald T. Kneusel, author of How AI Works

It's quite pricey, so I really checked out the content before buying but what a gem! Each little "Question" chapter is short, to the point, eminently readable and really clarifies the underlying concepts clearly. So glad I bought it. If you're navigating the space of ML & AI and wanting to understand the technical details but you don't have a strong computer science background, then this is an ideal resource and must-have! And you don't have to read the chapters in order - most of them can be read on their own.

This book clearly assumes a very high level of existing understanding of math and core AI concepts. Literarily the first concept gets into "high-dimensional" data and "low-dimensional" vectors. The title is misleading because for a novice an essential question would be "what are low-dimensional" vectors, what is convolution, etc.
