Generative Deep Learning: Teaching Machines To Paint, Write, Compose, and Play Paperback – 6 June 2023

Very glad I chanced upon this book. This guide to state-of-the-art Gen AI research is both comprehensive and deep. It helps you grasp the underlying architecture, building blocks and mathematical intuition of wide variety of gen AI models (ranging from text to images to music to multi modality models). The book expects some background and intuition in stats and probability theory. It can be a heavy read at times but that's when you know this has the depth to actually get what's going on in these models and not just learn to call a few APIs in a phyton program. Although, it does include a set of coding exercises too. Strongly recommended.

Excellent book

The book is best for starting of learninggenerative model structures. However it came as black and white and I think that's the only thing that bothered me. Had I wanted to get it in greyscale I would have got a pdf from someone and got it printed. So I think there should be a coloured version too.
