Python Deep Learning Cookbook

By: Indra den Bakker

Overview of this book

Deep Learning is revolutionizing a wide range of industries. For many applications, deep learning has proven to outperform humans by making faster and more accurate predictions. This book provides a top-down and bottom-up approach to demonstrate deep learning solutions to real-world problems in different areas. These applications include Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Time Series, and Robotics. The Python Deep Learning Cookbook presents technical solutions to the issues presented, along with a detailed explanation of the solutions. Furthermore, a discussion on corresponding pros and cons of implementing the proposed solution using one of the popular frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras and CNTK is provided. The book includes recipes that are related to the basic concepts of neural networks. All techniques s, as well as classical networks topologies. The main purpose of this book is to provide Python programmers a detailed list of recipes to apply deep learning to common and not-so-common scenarios.

Preface

Implementing a single-layer neural network


Now we can move on to neural networks. We will start by the simplest form of a neural network: a single-layer neural network. The difference from a perceptron is that the computations are done by multiple units (neurons), hence a network. As you may expect, adding more units will increase the number of problems that can be solved. The units perform their computations separately and are in a layer; we call this layer the hidden layer. Therefore, we call the units in this layer the hidden units. For now, we will only consider a single hidden layer. The output layer performs as a perceptron. This time, as input we have the hidden units in the hidden layer instead of the input variables:

In our implementation of the perceptron, we've used a unit step function to determine the class. In the next recipe, we will use a non-linear activation function...
