Overview of this book

Neural networks are at the core of recent AI advances, providing some of the best resolutions to many real-world problems, including image recognition, medical diagnosis, text analysis, and more. This book goes through some basic neural network and deep learning concepts, as well as some popular libraries in Python for implementing them. It contains practical demonstrations of neural networks in domains such as fare prediction, image classification, sentiment analysis, and more. In each case, the book provides a problem statement, the specific neural network architecture required to tackle that problem, the reasoning behind the algorithm used, and the associated Python code to implement the solution from scratch. In the process, you will gain hands-on experience with using popular Python libraries such as Keras to build and train your own neural networks from scratch. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the different neural network architectures and created cutting-edge AI projects in Python that will immediately strengthen your machine learning portfolio.

Questions

  1. How are autoencoders different from a conventional feed forward neural network?

Autoencoders are neural networks that learn a compressed representation of the input, known as the latent representation. They are different from conventional feed forward neural networks because their structure consists of an encoder and a decoder component, which is not present in CNNs.

  1. What happens when the latent representation of the autoencoder is too small?

The size of the latent representation should be sufficiently small enough to represent a compressed representation of the input, and also be sufficiently large enough for the decoder to reconstruct the original image without too much loss.

  1. What are the input and output when training a denoising autoencoder?

The input to a denoising autoencoder should be a noisy image and the output should be a reference clean image. During...
