Overview of this book

This Learning Path is your complete guide to quickly getting to grips with popular machine learning algorithms. You'll be introduced to the most widely used algorithms in supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised machine learning, and learn how to use them in the best possible manner. Ranging from Bayesian models to the MCMC algorithm to Hidden Markov models, this Learning Path will teach you how to extract features from your dataset and perform dimensionality reduction by making use of Python-based libraries. You'll bring the use of TensorFlow and Keras to build deep learning models, using concepts such as transfer learning, generative adversarial networks, and deep reinforcement learning. Next, you'll learn the advanced features of TensorFlow1.x, such as distributed TensorFlow with TF clusters, deploy production models with TensorFlow Serving. You'll implement different techniques related to object classification, object detection, image segmentation, and more. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll have obtained in-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, making you the go-to person for solving artificial intelligence problems This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Mastering Machine Learning Algorithms by Giuseppe Bonaccorso • Mastering TensorFlow 1.x by Armando Fandango • Deep Learning for Computer Vision by Rajalingappaa Shanmugamani

Algorithms for semantic segmentation


There are several deep learning-based algorithms that were proposed to solve image segmentation tasks. A sliding window approach can be applied at a pixel level for segmentation. A sliding window approach takes an image and breaks the image into smaller crops. Every crop of the image is classified for a label. This approach is expensive and inefficient because it doesn't reuse the shared features between the overlapping patches. In the following sections, we will discuss a few algorithms that can overcome this problem.

The Fully Convolutional Network

The Fully Convolutional Network (FCN) introduced the idea of an end-to-end convolutional network. Any standard CNN architecture can be used for FCN by removing the fully connected layers, and the implementation of the same was shown in Chapter 23, Object Detection. The fully connected layers are replaced by a convolution layer. The depth is higher in the final layers and the size is smaller. Hence, 1D convolution...
