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.

End-to-End Learning

In the previous chapters, we have learnt about analyzing sequential data (text) using the Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and also about analyzing image data using the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN).

In this chapter, we will be learning about using the CNN + RNN combination to solve the following case studies:

  • Handwritten-text recognition
  • Generating caption from image

Additionally, we will also be learning about a new loss function called Connectionist Temporal Classification (CTC) loss while solving the handwritten-text-recognition problem.

Finally, we will be learning about beam search to come up with plausible alternatives to the generated text, while solving the caption generating from image problem.
