    My favorite little book is François Fleuret's: The Little Book of Deep Learning https://fleuret.org/francois/lbdl.html

      I love how that site offers a phone-formatted PDF as an option. How thoughtful!

      It's a nice treatment of the subject, but I wish he would post a conventionally-formatted .PDF that puts every page on a full sheet of standard printer paper.

    Someone should add it to the hacker news curated paper list! Along side the video and book list.

    Wow, this book is surprisingly readable! I like how he starts from basics of linear algebra.

    Appreciated, I drop all of these into a RAG folder for when I need them later on in projects.

    8Gb of whitepapers/books...

      I'm v curious how you're incorporating this into your workflow. Is it that when you want to implement something you can call out to these books as rigorous reference material for your agents? I'd never thought of doing such a thing and am curious how you're doing it and how it's worked.

      Can you share what you have so far in that folder?

    Interesting!

    Is there any one who have recommended books on the attention architecture specifically? I have been interested in that for a long time but never gotten around to actually studying it.

    Are there any deep learning books with some problems to solve ?
