The Little Book of Generative AI Foundations: An Intuitive Mathematical Primer

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

The very first formula in the text, explicitly described as "as simple as possible," names its variable ê1 with no explanation given. I think this paper needs another pass.

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

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

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

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.

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

8Gb of whitepapers/books...

We are recommending books for HackerBooks.org I see. Good, this is why I have come here also.

Let me tell you about one of the greatest book series of our generation: Dungeon Crawler Carl, By Matt Dinniman

https://mattdinniman.com/books/

From the Dust jacket: The apocalypse will be televised!

You know what’s worse than breaking up with your girlfriend? Being stuck with her prize-winning show cat. And you know what’s worse than that? An alien invasion, the destruction of all man-made structures on Earth, and the systematic exploitation of all the survivors for a sadistic intergalactic game show. That’s what. READ MORE

Join Coast Guard vet Carl and his ex-girlfriend’s cat, Princess Donut, as they try to survive the end of the world—or just get to the next level—in a video game–like, trap-filled fantasy dungeon. A dungeon that’s actually the set of a reality television show with countless viewers across the galaxy. Exploding goblins. Magical potions. Deadly, drug-dealing llamas. This ain’t your ordinary game show.

Welcome, Crawler. Welcome to the Dungeon. Survival is optional. Keeping the viewers entertained is not.
