Overview of this book

Deep learning is the step that comes after machine learning, and has more advanced implementations. Machine learning is not just for academics anymore, but is becoming a mainstream practice through wide adoption, and deep learning has taken the front seat. As a data scientist, if you want to explore data abstraction layers, this book will be your guide. This book shows how this can be exploited in the real world with complex raw data using TensorFlow 1.x. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to implement deep learning algorithms for machine learning systems and integrate them into your product offerings, including search, image recognition, and language processing. Additionally, you’ll learn how to analyze and improve the performance of deep learning models. This can be done by comparing algorithms against benchmarks, along with machine intelligence, to learn from the information and determine ideal behaviors within a specific context. After finishing the book, you will be familiar with machine learning techniques, in particular the use of TensorFlow for deep learning, and will be ready to apply your knowledge to research or commercial projects.

Summary

In this chapter, we discovered three TensorFlow-based libraries for deep learning research and development.

We gave an overview of Keras, which is designed for minimalism and modularity, allowing the user to quickly define deep learning models.

Using Keras, we have learned how to develop a simple single layer LSTM model for the IMDB movie review sentiment classification problem.

Then, we briefly introduced Pretty Tensor; it allows the developer to wrap TensorFlow operations to chain any number of layers.

We implemented a convolutional model in the style of LeNet to quickly resolve the handwritten classification model.

The final library we looked at was TFLearn; it wraps a lot of TensorFlow APIs. In the example application, we learned to use TFLearn to estimate the survival chance of titanic passengers. To tackle this task, we built a deep neural network classifier.

The next chapter introduces reinforcement...
