It covers advanced topics such as generative models (the technology behind deep fakes), self-supervised learning, attention mechanisms (the technology behind ChatGPT), diffusion models (the technology behind text2image models such as DALL-E), graph neural networks (the technology behind AlphaFold), and deep reinforcement learning (the technology behind AlphaGo). These cutting-edge concepts and techniques address the current demands and trends in deep learning, giving you practical skills to tackle complex real-world problems.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-author-bio field-type-text-long field-label-abovec"><div class="field-label">Author Bio </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><strong>Giovanni Volpe</strong> is a Professor at the Physics Department of the University of Gothenburg in Sweden. His research interests include deep learning, brain connectivity, statistical mechanics, and soft matter. He has authored more than 200 articles and reviews on these topics. Moreover, he has co-authored two books, <em>Optical Tweezers: Principles and Applications</em> (Cambridge University Press, 2015) and <em>Simulation of Complex Systems</em> (IOP, 2021), and is currently co-editing the book <em>Active Matter</em>, which will appear in early 2024 (Springer Verlag). He has also developed several software packages for microscopy, deep learning, and brain connectivity.</p> <p><strong>Benjamin Midtvedt</strong> is a doctoral researcher that combines a solid grounding in physics with a keen interest in the potential of deep learning in life sciences. His background includes a Bachelor’s in Physics and a Master’s degree in Engineering Mathematics and Computer Science. Benjamin has made significant strides in the field of microscopy through deep learning. The unifying focus of his research has been the development of accessible and practical AI optimized to the needs of the user. He is also been the lead developer of several Python-based open-source deep learning frameworks.</p> <p><strong>Jesús Pineda</strong> is a doctoral researcher in physics interested in the intersection between<br /> deep learning and computer vision. Jesús holds a Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics and a Master's in Electrical and Electronic engineering. He co-authored several articles in high-impact journals, focusing on the application of deep learning to unveil meaningful insights derived from microscopy data. Jesús is also a core developer of the deep learning software packages DeepTrack and Deeplay.</p> <p><strong>Henrik Klein Moberg</strong> is a Ph.D. candidate at Chalmers University of Technology, specializing in the integration of Artificial Intelligence with physical sciences. His academic background includes a Bachelor's degree in Physics and a Master’s degree in Complex Adaptive Systems. His research focuses on applying deep learning techniques to nanofluidic microscopy and nanophotonics, aiming to enhance the precision and efficiency of these technologies. He has also organized and spoken at numerous conferences related to AI and scientific data analysis.</p> <p><strong>Harshith Bachimanchi</strong> is a PhD student whose research combines holographic microscopy and deep learning to better understand marine microorganisms. His academic journey began with an integrated Bachelor's-Master's program in physics, focusing initially on experimental nonlinear optics. Since beginning his PhD in 2020, Harshith has applied his skills in experimental optics alongside deep learning techniques to track both biological and synthetic particles, enhancing our understanding of these complex systems. He has also developed simulations and tutorials demonstrating the practical applications of deep learning in microscopy. Moving forward, Harshith aims to continue blending experimental and computational approaches to solve complex challenges in biophysics.</p> <p><strong>Joana B. Pereira</strong> is an Associate Professor at Karolinska Institute in Sweden, where she focuses on investigating new biomarkers for neurodegenerative disorders, in particular Alzheimer’s disease. She has published over 90 articles in highly ranked journals including "Nature Aging" and "Nature Communications”, which have been featured several times by the press. Since 2020 she has been organizing an interdisciplinary conference called “Emerging Topics in Artificial Intelligence” held annually in San Diego, CA. She is also the scientific coordinator at Karolinska Institute of an innovative, trans-European Network of Excellence for brain research and technologies called NeurotechEU. In 2021, she won the De Leon prize for best neuroimaging article in Alzheimer’s disease.</p> <p><strong>Carlo Manzo</strong> is an Associate Professor at the University of Vic, Spain, where he leads the Quantitative Bioimaging Lab. His research is dedicated to the quantitative analysis of biophysical processes, merging advanced deep-learning techniques with state-of-the-art imaging technologies to achieve single-molecule sensitivity. His work primarily investigates the spatiotemporal organization and dynamics of cellular membrane components, focusing on their implications in health and disease. He has contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed articles and reviews in top-tier journals, such as “Nature Methods” and “Nature Machine Intelligence”. He is also a developer of several software packages and the founder of the Anomalous Diffusion (AnDi) challenge, an initiative that galvanizes the scientific community to refine methods for analyzing single-molecule trajectories. His contributions to the field of biophysics were recognized in 2017 when he was awarded the “E. Pérez Payá” prize by the Sociedad de Biofísica de España.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-toc field-type-text-long field-label-abovec" id="content"><div class="field-label">Table of contents </div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><p><span style="color:#e74c3c">Introduction<br /> Chapter 1: Dense Neural Networks for Classification <br /> Chapter 2: Dense Neural Networks for Regression<br /> Chapter 3: Convolutional Neural Networks for Image Analysis<br /> Chapter 4: Encoders–Decoders for Latent Space Manipulation<br /> Chapter 5: U-Nets for Image Transformation<br /> Chapter 6: Self-Supervised Learning to Exploit Symmetries </span><br /> Chapter 7: Recurrent Neural Networks for Timeseries Analysis<br /> Chapter 8: Attention and Transformers for Sequence Processing<br /> Chapter 9: Generative Adversarial Networks for Image Synthesis<br /> Chapter 10: Diffusion Models for Data Representation and Exploration<br /> Chapter 11: Graph Neural Networks for Relational Data Analysis <br /> Chapter 12: Active Learning for Continuous Learning<br /> Chapter 13: Reinforcement Learning for Strategy Optimization <br /> Chapter 14: Reservoir Computing for Predicting Chaos <br /> Conclusion and Outlook</p> <p>The chapters in <span style="color:#e74c3c">red</span> are included in this Early Access PDF.</p> </div></div></div> </div> </div> </section> <section id="block-shariff-shariff-block" class="block block-shariff clearfix"> <div class="shariff" data-services="["facebook","print","twitter"]" data-theme="colored" data-orientation="horizontal" data-twitter-via="nostarch" data-lang="en"></div> </section> </div> </section> <aside class="col-sm-3" role="complementary"> <div class="region region-sidebar-second"> <section id="block-system-navigation" class="block block-system block-menu clearfix"> <h2 class="block-title">Navigation</h2> <ul class="menu nav"><li class="first last leaf"><a href="/user" title="">My account</a></li> </ul> </section> <section id="block-block-52" class="block block-block clearfix"> <p><a href="/mailchimp/subscribe">Want sweet deals?
