Hands-On Deep Learning Algorithms with Python

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.

Gradient descent versus stochastic gradient descent

We update the parameter of the model multiple times with our parameter update equation (1) until we find the optimal parameter value. In gradient descent, to perform a single parameter update, we iterate through all the data points in our training set. So, every time we update the parameters of the model, we iterate through all the data points in the training set. Updating the parameters of the model only after iterating through all the data points in the training set makes gradient descent very slow and it will increase the training time, especially when we have a large dataset.

Let's say we have a training set with 1 million data points. We know that we update the parameters of the model multiple times to find the optimal parameter value. So, even to perform a single parameter update, we go through all 1 million data points...
