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.

Learning to predict future Bitcoin value with RNNs

In this recipe, we will learn how to predict future Bitcoin value with an RNN. The key idea is that the temporal sequence of values observed in the past is a good predictor of future values. For this recipe, we will use the code available at https://github.com/guillaume-chevalier/seq2seq-signal-prediction under the MIT license. The Bitcoin value for a given temporal interval is downloaded via an API from https://www.coindesk.com/api/ . Here is a piece of the API documentation:

We offer historical data from our Bitcoin Price Index through the following endpoint:
https://api.coindesk.com/v1/bpi/historical/close.json
By default, this will return the previous 31 days' worth of data. This endpoint accepts the following optional parameters:
?index=[USD/CNY]The index to return data for. Defaults to USD.
?currency=<VALUE...
