Overview of this book

Deep learning has become an essential necessity to enter the world of artificial intelligence. With this book deep learning techniques will become more accessible, practical, and relevant to practicing data scientists. It moves deep learning from academia to the real world through practical examples. You will learn how Tensor Board is used to monitor the training of deep neural networks and solve binary classification problems using deep learning. Readers will then learn to optimize hyperparameters in their deep learning models. The book then takes the readers through the practical implementation of training CNN's, RNN's, and LSTM's with word embeddings and seq2seq models from scratch. Later the book explores advanced topics such as Deep Q Network to solve an autonomous agent problem and how to use two adversarial networks to generate artificial images that appear real. For implementation purposes, we look at popular Python-based deep learning frameworks such as Keras and Tensorflow, Each chapter provides best practices and safe choices to help readers make the right decision while training deep neural networks. By the end of this book, you will be able to solve real-world problems quickly with deep neural networks.

Controlling variance with regularization

Regularization is another way to control overfitting, that penalizes individual weights in the model as they grow larger. If you're familiar with linear models such as linear and logistic regression, it's exactly the same technique applied at the neuron level. Two flavors of regularization, called L1 and L2, can be used to regularize neural networks. However, because it is more computationally efficient L2 regularization is almost always used in neural networks.

Quickly, we need to first regularize our cost function. If we imagine C0, categorical cross-entropy, as the original cost function, then the regularized cost function would be as follows:

Here, ; is a regularization parameter that can be increased or decreased to change the amount of regularization applied. This regularization parameter penalizes big values for weights...
