Overview of this book

Deep learning is one of the most popular domains in the AI space that allows you to develop multi-layered models of varying complexities. This book introduces you to popular deep learning algorithms—from basic to advanced—and shows you how to implement them from scratch using TensorFlow. Throughout the book, you will gain insights into each algorithm, the mathematical principles involved, and how to implement it in the best possible manner. The book starts by explaining how you can build your own neural networks, followed by introducing you to TensorFlow, the powerful Python-based library for machine learning and deep learning. Moving on, you will get up to speed with gradient descent variants, such as NAG, AMSGrad, AdaDelta, Adam, and Nadam. The book will then provide you with insights into recurrent neural networks (RNNs) and LSTM and how to generate song lyrics with RNN. Next, you will master the math necessary to work with convolutional and capsule networks, widely used for image recognition tasks. You will also learn how machines understand the semantics of words and documents using CBOW, skip-gram, and PV-DM. Finally, you will explore GANs, including InfoGAN and LSGAN, and autoencoders, such as contractive autoencoders and VAE. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with all the skills you need to implement deep learning in your own projects.

Forward propagation in ANN

In this section, we will see how an ANN learns where neurons are stacked up in layers. The number of layers in a network is equal to the number of hidden layers plus the number of output layers. We don't take the input layer into account when calculating the number of layers in a network. Consider a two-layer neural network with one input layer, , one hidden layer, , and one output layer, , as shown in the following diagram:

Let's consider we have two inputs, and , and we have to predict the output, . Since we have two inputs, the number of neurons in the input layer will be two. We set the number of neurons in the hidden layer to four, and, the number of neurons in the output layer to one. Now, the inputs will be multiplied by weights, and then we add bias and propagate the resultant value to the hidden layer where the activation function...
