Overview of this book

Deep learning is the step that comes after machine learning, and has more advanced implementations. Machine learning is not just for academics anymore, but is becoming a mainstream practice through wide adoption, and deep learning has taken the front seat. As a data scientist, if you want to explore data abstraction layers, this book will be your guide. This book shows how this can be exploited in the real world with complex raw data using TensorFlow 1.x. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to implement deep learning algorithms for machine learning systems and integrate them into your product offerings, including search, image recognition, and language processing. Additionally, you’ll learn how to analyze and improve the performance of deep learning models. This can be done by comparing algorithms against benchmarks, along with machine intelligence, to learn from the information and determine ideal behaviors within a specific context. After finishing the book, you will be familiar with machine learning techniques, in particular the use of TensorFlow for deep learning, and will be ready to apply your knowledge to research or commercial projects.

Emotion recognition with CNNs

One of the hardest problems to solve in deep learning has nothing to do with neural nets, it's the problem of getting the right data in the right format. However, a valuable assistant to find new problems, and new datasets to study, comes from the Kaggle platform (https://www.kaggle.com/).

The Kaggle platform was founded in 2010 as a platform for predictive modeling and analytics competitions on which companies and researchers post their data and statisticians and data miners from all over the world compete to produce the best models.

In this section, we show how to make a CNN for emotion detection from facial images. The train and test set of this example can be downloaded from https://inclass.kaggle.com/c/facial-keypoints-detector/data. Please note that you can login and download the data using Facebook, Google+ or Yahoo. Alternatively, you will have to create an account and...
