Overview of this book

Deep Learning is revolutionizing a wide range of industries. For many applications, deep learning has proven to outperform humans by making faster and more accurate predictions. This book provides a top-down and bottom-up approach to demonstrate deep learning solutions to real-world problems in different areas. These applications include Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Time Series, and Robotics. The Python Deep Learning Cookbook presents technical solutions to the issues presented, along with a detailed explanation of the solutions. Furthermore, a discussion on corresponding pros and cons of implementing the proposed solution using one of the popular frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras and CNTK is provided. The book includes recipes that are related to the basic concepts of neural networks. All techniques s, as well as classical networks topologies. The main purpose of this book is to provide Python programmers a detailed list of recipes to apply deep learning to common and not-so-common scenarios.

Preface

Implementing bidirectional RNNs


Until now, we've considered the to flow in one direction through our network. However, sometimes it's beneficial to run the data through the network in both directions. We call such networks bidirectional RNNs. In the following example, we will implement the same LSTM network as we've implemented previously, but this time we will use a bidirectional RNN to classify the sentiment.

How to do it...

  1. Let's start with importing the libraries as follows:
import numpy as np

from keras.preprocessing import sequence
from keras.models import Sequential
from keras.layers import Dense, Dropout, 
Activation, Embedding, LSTM, Bidirectional
from keras.callbacks import EarlyStopping
from keras.datasets import imdb
  1. We will be using the IMDB dataset from Keras; load the data with the following code:
n_words = 1000
(X_train, y_train), (X_test, y_test) = imdb.load_data(num_words=n_words)
print('Train seq: {}'.format(len(X_train)))
print('Test seq: {}'.format(len(X_train)))
  1. Let's print...
