Overview of this book

This book will take you from the basics of neural networks to advanced implementations of architectures using a recipe-based approach. We will learn about how neural networks work and the impact of various hyper parameters on a network's accuracy along with leveraging neural networks for structured and unstructured data. Later, we will learn how to classify and detect objects in images. We will also learn to use transfer learning for multiple applications, including a self-driving car using Convolutional Neural Networks. We will generate images while leveraging GANs and also by performing image encoding. Additionally, we will perform text analysis using word vector based techniques. Later, we will use Recurrent Neural Networks and LSTM to implement chatbot and Machine Translation systems. Finally, you will learn about transcribing images, audio, and generating captions and also use Deep Q-learning to build an agent that plays Space Invaders game. By the end of this book, you will have developed the skills to choose and customize multiple neural network architectures for various deep learning problems you might encounter.

Building word vectors using fastText

fastText is a library created by the Facebook Research Team for the efficient learning of word representations and sentence classification.

fastText differs from word2vec in the sense that word2vec treats every single word as the smallest unit whose vector representation is to be found, but fastText assumes a word to be formed by a n-grams of character; for example, sunny is composed of [sun, sunn, sunny],[sunny, unny, nny], and so on, where we see a subset of the original word of size n, where n could range from 1 to the length of the original word.

Another reason for the use of fastText would be that the words do not meet the minimum frequency cut-off in the skip-gram or CBOW models. For example, the word appended would not be very different than append. However, if append occurs frequently, and in the new sentence we have the word appended...
