Intelligent Projects Using Python

By: Santanu Pattanayak

Overview of this book

This book will be a perfect companion if you want to build insightful projects from leading AI domains using Python. The book covers detailed implementation of projects from all the core disciplines of AI. We start by covering the basics of how to create smart systems using machine learning and deep learning techniques. You will assimilate various neural network architectures such as CNN, RNN, LSTM, to solve critical new world challenges. You will learn to train a model to detect diabetic retinopathy conditions in the human eye and create an intelligent system for performing a video-to-text translation. You will use the transfer learning technique in the healthcare domain and implement style transfer using GANs. Later you will learn to build AI-based recommendation systems, a mobile app for sentiment analysis and a powerful chatbot for carrying customer services. You will implement AI techniques in the cybersecurity domain to generate Captchas. Later you will train and build autonomous vehicles to self-drive using reinforcement learning. You will be using libraries from the Python ecosystem such as TensorFlow, Keras and more to bring the core aspects of machine learning, deep learning, and AI. By the end of this book, you will be skilled to build your own smart models for tackling any kind of AI problems without any hassle.

Processing video images to create CNN features

Once we have downloaded the data from the specified location, the next task is to process the video image frames to extract features out of the last fully connected layers of a pre-trained convolutional neural network. We use a VGG16 convolutional neural network that is pre-trained on ImageNet. We take the activations out of the last fully connected layer of the VGG16. Since the last fully connected layer of VGG16 has 4096 units, our feature vector ft for each time step t is a 4096, dimensional vector that is ft ∈ R4096 .

Before the images from the videos can be processed through the VGG16, they need to be sampled from the video. We sample images from the video in such a way that each video has 80 frames. After processing the 80 image frames from VGG16, each video will have 80 feature vectors f1, f2, . . . . . ft . . . f80...
