The StatQuest Illustrated Guide to Neural Networks and AI: With hands-on examples in PyTorch!!! strikes an excellent balance between accessibility and technical depth. Josh Starmer, PhD, builds on his previous work while making neural networks approachable for both students and practitioners. This book has a similar feel and vibe to the previous book, The StatQuest guide to Machine Learning.
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are a powerful class of deep learning models widely applied in Earth science for image analysis, classification, and regression problems. Leveraging the Keras framework in python, CNNs can efficiently process and extract spatial features from 2D and 3D remote sensing, model output, and other Earth Systems Science (ESS) data types.
