About the authors

Sherin Thomas started his career as an information security expert and shifted his focus to deep learning-based security systems. He has helped several companies across the globe to set up their AI pipelines and worked recently for CoWrks, a fast-growing start-up based out of Bengaluru. Sherin is working on several open source projects including PyTorch, RedisAI, and many more, and is leading the development of TuringNetwork.ai. Currently, he is focusing on building the deep learning infrastructure for [tensor]werk, an Orobix spin-off company.

I am indebted to a multitude of professionals who have influenced me and motivated me to write this book. Among them are my colleagues from CoWrks and my friends. I can't thank enough the technical reviewers and editorial assistants. Without them, I would not have been able to meet the deadlines. Last, and most importantly, I am indebted to my wife, Merin. Writing a book along with a day job is not easy, and without her, it would have been impossible.

Sudhanshu Passi is a technologist employed at CoWrks. Among other things, he has been the driving force behind everything related to machine learning at CoWrks. His expertise in simplifying complex concepts makes his work an ideal read for beginners and experts alike. This can be verified by his many blogs and this debut book publication. In his spare time, he can be found at his local swimming pool computing gradient descent underwater.

I would like to thank Sherin for this opportunity to be a co-author on this book. I would also like to thank my parents for their continuous support throughout the years.
