TensorFlow 1.x Deep Learning Cookbook

Overview of this book

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved a lot of success in the field of computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. This exciting recipe-based guide will take you from the realm of DNN theory to implementing them practically to solve real-life problems in the artificial intelligence domain. In this book, you will learn how to efficiently use TensorFlow, Google’s open source framework for deep learning. You will implement different deep learning networks, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Deep Q-learning Networks (DQNs), and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), with easy-to-follow standalone recipes. You will learn how to use TensorFlow with Keras as the backend. You will learn how different DNNs perform on some popularly used datasets, such as MNIST, CIFAR-10, and Youtube8m. You will not only learn about the different mobile and embedded platforms supported by TensorFlow, but also how to set up cloud platforms for deep learning applications. You will also get a sneak peek at TPU architecture and how it will affect the future of DNNs. By using crisp, no-nonsense recipes, you will become an expert in implementing deep learning techniques in growing real-world applications and research areas such as reinforcement learning, GANs, and autoencoders.

Meta-learning novel tasks

Meta-learning systems can be trained to achieve a large number of tasks and are then tested for their ability to learn new tasks. A famous example of this kind of meta-learning is the so-called Transfer Learning discussed in the Chapter on Advanced CNNs, where networks can successfully learn new image-based tasks from relatively small datasets. However, there is no analogous pre-training scheme for non-vision domains such as speech, language, and text.

Model-Agnostic Meta-Learning for Fast Adaptation of Deep Networks, Chelsea Finn, Pieter Abbeel, Sergey Levine, 2017, https://arxiv.org/abs/1703.03400 proposes a model-agnostic approach names MAML, compatible with any model trained with gradient descent and applicable to a variety of different learning problems, including classification, regression, and reinforcement learning. The goal of meta-learning is...
