An interactive deep learning book built as a sequence of Jupyter notebooks teaching deep learning concepts using Apache MXNet and its Gluon interface. The project is deprecated and its content has been incorporated into the Dive into Deep Learning book at d2l.ai.
Use cases
- learn deep learning from scratch with runnable code
- understand MXNet and the Gluon API
- find course material for a deep learning class
- get example code for neural network concepts
- study deep learning fundamentals interactively
When to choose
- you specifically want to learn MXNet/Gluon with notebook-based tutorials
- you want free, open-source deep learning course material with runnable code
When to avoid
- you want actively maintained content - use d2l.ai instead
- you prefer PyTorch or TensorFlow examples
- you need production tooling rather than educational material
