Overview of this book

This book will take you from the basics of neural networks to advanced implementations of architectures using a recipe-based approach. We will learn about how neural networks work and the impact of various hyper parameters on a network's accuracy along with leveraging neural networks for structured and unstructured data. Later, we will learn how to classify and detect objects in images. We will also learn to use transfer learning for multiple applications, including a self-driving car using Convolutional Neural Networks. We will generate images while leveraging GANs and also by performing image encoding. Additionally, we will perform text analysis using word vector based techniques. Later, we will use Recurrent Neural Networks and LSTM to implement chatbot and Machine Translation systems. Finally, you will learn about transcribing images, audio, and generating captions and also use Deep Q-learning to build an agent that plays Space Invaders game. By the end of this book, you will have developed the skills to choose and customize multiple neural network architectures for various deep learning problems you might encounter.

Generating images of digits using Generative Adversarial Networks

A GAN uses a stack of neural networks to come up with a new image that looks very similar to the original set of images. It has a variety of applications in image generation, and the field of GAN research is progressing very quickly to come up with images that are very hard to distinguish from real ones. In this section, we will understand the basics of a GAN how it works and the difference in the variations of GANs.

A GAN comprises two networks: a generator and a discriminator. The generator tries to generate an image and the discriminator tries to determine whether the image it is given as an input is a real image or a generated (fake) image.

To gain further intuition, let's assume that a discriminator model tries to classify a picture into a human face image, or not a human face from a dataset that...
