Conceived and implemented since 2018, DLBOOKVN is a non-profit project aimed at Vietnamese localization of the classic book in Artificial Intelligence: Deep Learning, written by Ian Goodfellow, Yoshua Bengio, and Aaron Courville. The Vietnamese version is translated based on the public English version available at https://www.deeplearningbook.org
Throughout 3 years of operation, the project has attracted widespread attention and sharing in the Vietnamese technology community. Over 60 carefully selected members have directly contributed to the project, under the coordination of a core team with high expertise and dedication.
All profits from the project will be donated to the “Books for Rural Areas” program, aiming to promote reading culture in remote areas of Vietnam.

Project Objectives
Standard Vietnamese Reference Material
The project was created to establish a standard Vietnamese reference material in the field of Deep Learning specifically and Artificial Intelligence in general, to serve as a useful reference and lay the foundation for future Vietnamese AI materials.
Terminology Standardization
Contributing to the standardization of Vietnamese terminology in Artificial Intelligence, serving as a basis for formal technical documents in Vietnam.
Inspiration
Encouraging the development of knowledge-enhancing activities for the Vietnamese technology community. For this reason, we have compiled shared experiences here.
