Deep Learning Quick Reference

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.

Using an LSTM for time series prediction

In this chapter, we're going to predict the minute-to-minute value of bitcoin in US dollars during the month of June 2017 by using the minute-to-minute price of bitcoin from January to May of 2017. I know this sounds really lucrative but before you buy that boat, I recommend reading through to the end of the chapter; this is something easier said and even easier modeled, than done.

Even if we were able to create the potential for an arbitrage (a difference in price between two markets due to an inefficiency) between USD and bitcoins using some model like this one, developing a trading strategy around bitcoin can be extremely complex because of the delay in finalizing bitcoin transactions. At the time of this writing, the average transaction time for a bitcoin transaction is over an hour! This "illiquidity" should be a consideration...
