Hands-On Deep Learning with Go

By: Gareth Seneque, Darrell Chua

Overview of this book

Go is an open source programming language designed by Google for handling large-scale projects efficiently. The Go ecosystem comprises some really powerful deep learning tools such as DQN and CUDA. With this book, you'll be able to use these tools to train and deploy scalable deep learning models from scratch. This deep learning book begins by introducing you to a variety of tools and libraries available in Go. It then takes you through building neural networks, including activation functions and the learning algorithms that make neural networks tick. In addition to this, you'll learn how to build advanced architectures such as autoencoders, restricted Boltzmann machines (RBMs), convolutional neural networks (CNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and more. You'll also understand how you can scale model deployments on the AWS cloud infrastructure for training and inference. By the end of this book, you'll have mastered the art of building, training, and deploying deep learning models in Go to solve real-world problems.

Summary

In this chapter, we had look into the background of RL and what a DQN is, including the Q-learning algorithm. We have seen how DQNs offer a unique (relative to the other architectures that we've discussed so far) approach to solving problems. We are not supplying output labels in the traditional sense as with, say, our CNN from Chapter 5, Next Word Prediction with Recurrent Neural Networks, which processed CIFAR image data. Indeed, our output label was a cumulative reward for a given action relative to an environment's state, so you may now see that we have dynamically created output labels. But instead of them being an end goal for our network, these labels help a virtual agent make intelligent decisions within a discrete space of possibilities. We also looked into what types of predictions we can make around rewards or actions.

Now you can think about other...
