Deep Learning with Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit Quick Start Guide

By: Willem Meints

Overview of this book

Cognitive Toolkit is a very popular and recently open sourced deep learning toolkit by Microsoft. Cognitive Toolkit is used to train fast and effective deep learning models. This book will be a quick introduction to using Cognitive Toolkit and will teach you how to train and validate different types of neural networks, such as convolutional and recurrent neural networks. This book will help you understand the basics of deep learning. You will learn how to use Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit to build deep learning models and discover what makes this framework unique so that you know when to use it. This book will be a quick, no-nonsense introduction to the library and will teach you how to train different types of neural networks, such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, autoencoders, and more, using Cognitive Toolkit. Then we will look at two scenarios in which deep learning can be used to enhance human capabilities. The book will also demonstrate how to evaluate your models' performance to ensure it trains and runs smoothly and gives you the most accurate results. Finally, you will get a short overview of how Cognitive Toolkit fits in to a DevOps environment

Validating Model Performance

When you've built a deep learning model using neural networks, you are left with the question of how well it can predict when presented with new data. Are the predictions made by the model accurate enough to be usable in a real-world scenario? In this chapter, we will look at how to measure the performance of your deep learning models. We'll also dive into tooling to monitor and debug your models.

By the end of this chapter, you'll have a solid understanding of different validation techniques you can use to measure the performance of your model. You'll also know how to use a tool such as TensorBoard to get into the details of your neural network. Finally, you will know how to apply different visualizations to debug your neural network.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Choosing a good strategy to validate model...
