(Oh wow - did actually remove my original review? That would be a first in my reviewer career. True, the review said that I had not seen the book. Instead, it pointed to unfortunate experience with the author's previous books, and recommended prospective buyers to (a) get the paper version, so that they could return it if needed, and (b) google relevant R packages, as chances were high that this outing of ND Lewis would not add much to the packages' vignettes. I still think that this was useful advice).Anyway, now I have read the book, and my low expectations are confirmed. Apparently, "deep learning" is the new buzzword for neural networks - even more narrowly, multi-layer perceptrons - and "Deep Learning Made Easy With R" is a low-value-added wham-bam job built around "neuralnet" R package. ("deepnet" and "RSNNS" make an appearance too). The author is enthusiastic about the subject, and clearly speaks from experience, but, as before, he just cannot be bothered to proof-read this text - literally the first line of page 1 invites you to "role up" your sleeves - and simply cannot or will not explain things well.His ticket to getting 216 (smallish) pages is to tell you about published neural-nets applications, paper after paper. Jokes, witticisms and pop-culture references abound - then, out of nowhere, you get hit with a tricky formula, a move that screams "Weak writer". Two out of seven-and-a-half chapters - specifically, those dealing with "autoencoder" - are of zero use to 99% of readers, and can just be subtracted from the page count. (People who deal with image compression/decompression read better books/papers, don't they?
