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.

CIFAR-10 – modeling, building, and training

This example shows how to make a CNN for classifying images in the CIFAR-10 dataset. We'll be using a simple convolution neural network implementation of a couple of convolutions and fully connected layers.

Even though the network architecture is very simple, you will see how well it performs when trying to detect objects in the CIFAR-10 images.

So, let's start off this implementation.

Used packages

We import all the required packages for this implementation:

%matplotlib inline
%config InlineBackend.figure_format = 'retina'

from urllib.request import urlretrieve
from os.path import isfile, isdir
from tqdm import tqdm
import tarfile
import numpy as np
import random...
