Deep Learning Quick Reference

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.

Summary

Hyperparameter optimization is an important step in getting the very best from our deep neural networks. Finding the best way to search for hyperparameters is an open and active area of machine learning research. While you most certainly can apply the state of the art to your own deep learning problem, you will need to weigh the complexity of implementation against the search runtime in your decision.

There are decisions related to network architecture that most certainly can be searched exhaustively, but a set of heuristics and best practices, as I offered above, might get you close enough or even reduce the number of parameters you search.

Ultimately, hyperparameter search is an economics problem, and the first part of any hyperparameter search should be consideration for your budget of computation time, and personal time, in attempting to isolate the best hyperparameter...
