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.

Neural machine translation - training a seq2seq RNN

Sequence to sequence (seq2seq) is a particular kind of RNN with successful applications in neural machine translation, text summarization, and speech recognition. In this recipe, we will discuss how to implement a neural machine translation with results similar to the one achieved by the Google Neural Machine Translation system (https://research.googleblog.com/2016/09/a-neural-network-for-machine.html ). The key idea is to input a whole sequence of text, understand the entire meaning, and then output the translation as another sequence. The idea of reading an entire sequence is very different from the previous architectures, where a fixed set of words was translated from one source language into a destination language.
