Machine Learning Books That Helped Me Level Up

That's the thing, even as an academic book it falls short. It feels disjointed, unorganized and poorly written - and most frustratingly, incomplete.

The reason for Goodfellow's popularity is that it was publish in 2014 right at the turn of exponential interest in Deep Learning after AlexNet. It took off and became popular, but readers now feel it is stale for the aforementioned reasons.

I certainly agree it could be better, but I also think "disjointed, unorganized and poorly written - and most frustratingly, incomplete" more or less sums up the field of deep learning :).
