Overview of this book

Deep learning has become an essential necessity to enter the world of artificial intelligence. With this book deep learning techniques will become more accessible, practical, and relevant to practicing data scientists. It moves deep learning from academia to the real world through practical examples. You will learn how Tensor Board is used to monitor the training of deep neural networks and solve binary classification problems using deep learning. Readers will then learn to optimize hyperparameters in their deep learning models. The book then takes the readers through the practical implementation of training CNN's, RNN's, and LSTM's with word embeddings and seq2seq models from scratch. Later the book explores advanced topics such as Deep Q Network to solve an autonomous agent problem and how to use two adversarial networks to generate artificial images that appear real. For implementation purposes, we look at popular Python-based deep learning frameworks such as Keras and Tensorflow, Each chapter provides best practices and safe choices to help readers make the right decision while training deep neural networks. By the end of this book, you will be able to solve real-world problems quickly with deep neural networks.

Training LSTMs with Word Embeddings from Scratch

So far, we've seen examples of the application of deep learning in structured data, image data, and even time series data. It seems only right to move on to natural language processing (NLP) as the next stop on our tour. The connection between machine learning and human language is a fascinating one. Deep learning has exponentially accelerated the pace at which this field is moving, as it has with computer vision. Let's start with a brief overview of NLP and some of the tasks we'll be taking on in this chapter.

We will also cover the following topics in this chapter:

  • An introduction to natural language processing
  • Vectorizing text
  • Word embedding
  • Keras embedding layer
  • 1D CNNs for natural language processing
  • Case studies for document classifications
