Overview of this book

This Learning Path is your complete guide to quickly getting to grips with popular machine learning algorithms. You'll be introduced to the most widely used algorithms in supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised machine learning, and learn how to use them in the best possible manner. Ranging from Bayesian models to the MCMC algorithm to Hidden Markov models, this Learning Path will teach you how to extract features from your dataset and perform dimensionality reduction by making use of Python-based libraries. You'll bring the use of TensorFlow and Keras to build deep learning models, using concepts such as transfer learning, generative adversarial networks, and deep reinforcement learning. Next, you'll learn the advanced features of TensorFlow1.x, such as distributed TensorFlow with TF clusters, deploy production models with TensorFlow Serving. You'll implement different techniques related to object classification, object detection, image segmentation, and more. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll have obtained in-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, making you the go-to person for solving artificial intelligence problems This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Mastering Machine Learning Algorithms by Giuseppe Bonaccorso • Mastering TensorFlow 1.x by Armando Fandango • Deep Learning for Computer Vision by Rajalingappaa Shanmugamani

Understanding deep learning


Computer vision as a field has a long history. With the emergence of deep learning, computer vision has proven to be useful for various applications. Deep learning is a collection of techniques from artificial neural network (ANN), which is a branch of machine learning. ANNs are modelled on the human brain; there are nodes linked to each other that pass information to each other. In the following sections, we will discuss in detail how deep learning works by understanding the commonly used basic terms.

Perceptron

An artificial neuron or perceptron takes several inputs and performs a weighted summation to produce an output. The weight of the perceptron is determined during the training process and is based on the training data. The following is adiagram of the perceptron:

The inputs are weighted and summed as shown in the preceding image. The sum is then passed through a unit step function, in this case, for a binary classification problem. A perceptron can only learn...
