Math and Architectures of Deep Learning bridges the gap between theory and practice, laying out the math of deep learning side by side with practical implementations in Python and PyTorch. YouGÇÖll peer inside the GÇ£black boxGÇ¥ to understand how your code is working, and learn to comprehend cutting-edge research you can turn into practical applications. Math and Architectures of Deep Learning sets out the foundations of DL usefully and accessibly to working practitioners. Each chapter explores a new fundamental DL concept or architectural pattern, explaining the underpinning mathematics and demonstrating how they work in practice with well-annotated Python code. YouGÇÖll start with a primer of basic algebra, calculus, and statistics, working your way up to state-of-the-art DL paradigms taken from the latest research. Learning mathematical foundations and neural network architecture can be challenging, but the payoff is big. YouGÇÖll be free from blind reliance on pre-packaged DL models and able to build, customize, and re-architect for your specific needs. And when things go wrong, youGÇÖll be glad you can quickly identify and fix problems.

Many enterprise applications intertwine code that defines an apps behaviour with code that defines its network communication and other non-functional concerns. The service mesh pattern, implemented by platforms like Istio, helps you push operational issues into the infrastructure so the application code is easier to understand, maintain, and adapt.Istio in Action teaches you how to implement a full-featured Istio-based service mesh to manage a microservices application. With the skills you learn in this comprehensive tutorial, youll be able to delegate the complex infrastructure of your cloud-native applications to Istio!

Summary Specification by Example is an emerging practice for creating software based on realistic examples, bridging the communication gap between business stakeholders and the dev teams building the software. In this book, author Gojko Adzic distills interviews with successful teams worldwide, sharing how they specify, develop, and deliver software, without defects, in short iterative delivery cycles. About the Technology Specification by Example is a collaborative method for specifying requirements and tests. Seven patterns, fully explored in this book, are key to making the method effective. The method has four main benefits: it produces living, reliable documentation; it defines expectations clearly and makes validation efficient; it reduces rework; and, above all, it assures delivery teams and business stakeholders that the software that's built is right for its purpose. About the Book This book distills from the experience of leading teams worldwide effective ways to specify, test, and deliver software in short, iterative delivery cycles. Case studies in this book range from small web startups to large financial institutions, working in many processes including XP, Scrum, and Kanban. This book is written for developers, testers, analysts, and business people working together to build great software.
