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

Algorithms for similarity learning


Similarity learning is the process of training a metric to compute the similarity between two entities. This could also be termed as metric learning, as the similarity is learned. A metric could be Euclidean or or some other custom distance function. Entities could be any data such as an image, video, text or tables. To compute a metric, a vector representation of the image is required. This representation can be the features computed by a CNN as described in Chapter 22, Image Retrieval. The CNN that was learned for object classification can be used as the vector to compute the metric. The feature vector obtained for image classification would not be the best representation of the task at hand. In similarity learning, we find out about CNNs that generate features trained for a similarity learning task. Some applications of similarity learning are given here:

  • Face verification for biometrics to compare two faces 
  • Visual search of real-world objects to find...
