TensorFlow 1.x Deep Learning Cookbook

Overview of this book

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved a lot of success in the field of computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. This exciting recipe-based guide will take you from the realm of DNN theory to implementing them practically to solve real-life problems in the artificial intelligence domain. In this book, you will learn how to efficiently use TensorFlow, Google’s open source framework for deep learning. You will implement different deep learning networks, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Deep Q-learning Networks (DQNs), and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), with easy-to-follow standalone recipes. You will learn how to use TensorFlow with Keras as the backend. You will learn how different DNNs perform on some popularly used datasets, such as MNIST, CIFAR-10, and Youtube8m. You will not only learn about the different mobile and embedded platforms supported by TensorFlow, but also how to set up cloud platforms for deep learning applications. You will also get a sneak peek at TPU architecture and how it will affect the future of DNNs. By using crisp, no-nonsense recipes, you will become an expert in implementing deep learning techniques in growing real-world applications and research areas such as reinforcement learning, GANs, and autoencoders.

Implementing neural network agent to play Pac-Man

Let's first build a simple neural network agent to play the game Pac-Man. We will create an agent with a set of random weights and biases. These agents will then try to play the game; we select the agent that is able to play for the longest average duration, assuming theirs to be the best policy.

Getting ready

The agents in this recipe are not learning any policy; they make their decision based on their initial set of weights (fixed policy). The agent picks the actions based on the probability given by the neural network. The decision that each agent makes is based only on the present observation of the environment.

We implement this by a fully connected neural network...
