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.

Adaptive methods of gradient descent

In this section, we will learn about several adaptive versions of gradient descent.

Setting a learning rate adaptively using Adagrad

When we build a deep neural network, we have many parameters. Parameters are basically the weights of the network, so when we build a network with many layers, we will have many weights, say, . Our goal is to find the optimal values for all these weights. In all of the previous methods we learned about, the learning rate was a common value for all the parameters of the network. However Adagrad (short for adaptive gradient) adaptively sets the learning rate according to a parameter.

Parameters that have frequent updates or high gradients will have a slower...
