Errata in chapter 1

Open DavidMertz opened this issue 6 years ago • 0 comments

I guess there is an errata page at the publisher, but I'm more concerned about author seeing this. The initial explanations of functions with mixtures of math, diagrams, and code written a few different ways confusingly mixes up ReLU and LeakyReLU repeatedly.

For example, in Figue 1-1, the diagram labelled "ReLU function" shows a LearkyReLU. On page 6, the code defines leaky_relu correctly, but then the note immediately below says that x.clip(min=0) (i.e. ReLU) is equivalent.

I can just see the process in writing of vacillating between whether ReLU or LeakyReLU is a better example, but the result would be really mysterious to someone who was not already familiar with both of those.
