Overview of this book

Neural networks are at the core of recent AI advances, providing some of the best resolutions to many real-world problems, including image recognition, medical diagnosis, text analysis, and more. This book goes through some basic neural network and deep learning concepts, as well as some popular libraries in Python for implementing them. It contains practical demonstrations of neural networks in domains such as fare prediction, image classification, sentiment analysis, and more. In each case, the book provides a problem statement, the specific neural network architecture required to tackle that problem, the reasoning behind the algorithm used, and the associated Python code to implement the solution from scratch. In the process, you will gain hands-on experience with using popular Python libraries such as Keras to build and train your own neural networks from scratch. By the end of this book, you will have mastered the different neural network architectures and created cutting-edge AI projects in Python that will immediately strengthen your machine learning portfolio.

Cutting edge advancements in neural networks

As we saw in the previous section, we covered a lot of material in this book. However, the possibilities of neural networks are truly boundless. There are other important types of neural networks that we have not yet discussed in this book. For completeness, we shall discuss them in this section. As you shall see, these neural networks are very different than what we have seen so far, and it should provide you with a new perspective.

Generative adversarial networks

Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of generative neural networks. To understand generative models, it's important to contrast them against discriminative models. So far in this book, we have focused...
