Neural Network Projects with Python

By: James Loy

Overview of this book

Neural networks are at the core of recent AI advances, providing some of the best resolutions to many real-world problems, including image recognition, medical diagnosis, text analysis, and more. This book goes through some basic neural network and deep learning concepts, as well as some popular libraries in Python for implementing them. It contains practical demonstrations of neural networks in domains such as fare prediction, image classification, sentiment analysis, and more. In each case, the book provides a problem statement, the specific neural network architecture required to tackle that problem, the reasoning behind the algorithm used, and the associated Python code to implement the solution from scratch. In the process, you will gain hands-on experience with using popular Python libraries such as Keras to build and train your own neural networks from scratch. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the different neural network architectures and created cutting-edge AI projects in Python that will immediately strengthen your machine learning portfolio.

The future of artificial intelligence and machine learning

Next, let's discuss the future of AI and machine learning in general. In my opinion, we will see the rise of the following key developments over the next few decades:

  • Artificial general intelligence
  • Automated machine learning

Artificial general intelligence

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is defined as an artificial intelligence agent with the ability to perform any intellectual task that a human being can. Some researchers have made the distinction of weak AI versus strong AI, with weak AI being used to describe the level of AI today. AI agents today are mostly concerned with performing a single task. For example, we train AI agents to predict whether...
