Deep Learning By Example

Overview of this book

Deep learning is a popular subset of machine learning, and it allows you to build complex models that are faster and give more accurate predictions. This book is your companion to take your first steps into the world of deep learning, with hands-on examples to boost your understanding of the topic. This book starts with a quick overview of the essential concepts of data science and machine learning which are required to get started with deep learning. It introduces you to Tensorflow, the most widely used machine learning library for training deep learning models. You will then work on your first deep learning problem by training a deep feed-forward neural network for digit classification, and move on to tackle other real-world problems in computer vision, language processing, sentiment analysis, and more. Advanced deep learning models such as generative adversarial networks and their applications are also covered in this book. By the end of this book, you will have a solid understanding of all the essential concepts in deep learning. With the help of the examples and code provided in this book, you will be equipped to train your own deep learning models with more confidence.

The intuition behind RNNs

All the deep learning architectures that we have dealt with so far have no mechanism to memorize the input that they have received previously. For instance, if you feed a feed-forward neural network (FNN) with a sequence of characters such as HELLO, when the network gets to E, you will find that it didn't preserve any information/forgotten that it just read H. This is a serious problem for sequence-based learning. And since it has no memory of any previous characters it read, this kind of network will be very difficult to train to predict the next character. This doesn't make sense for lots of applications such as language modeling, machine translation, speech recognition, and so on.

For this specific reason, we are going to introduce RNNs, a set of deep learning architectures that do preserve information and memorize what they have just encountered...
