Some brief comments on Chapter 3 (DL Primer):

Sec.3.5/Sec.3.6
- Title: how about changing from "Learning Process/Prediction Phase" to "Learning Phase/Inference Phase"?
- Pseudocode: It might be helpful to include a code snapshot (as done in Chapter 4) or pseudocode for learning and inference processes. I feel this could complement the text and equations effectively
Sec.3.5.2: the equation annotation (screenshot below) could use some refinement, n_{l-1} needs in subscript mode, and n needs to define (i.e., the number of neurons)
Sec.3.6.4: I feel it would be helpful to give an example of post-processing, similar as Fig.3.18 in pre-processing part
