Overview of this book

This Learning Path is your complete guide to quickly getting to grips with popular machine learning algorithms. You'll be introduced to the most widely used algorithms in supervised, unsupervised, and semi-supervised machine learning, and learn how to use them in the best possible manner. Ranging from Bayesian models to the MCMC algorithm to Hidden Markov models, this Learning Path will teach you how to extract features from your dataset and perform dimensionality reduction by making use of Python-based libraries. You'll bring the use of TensorFlow and Keras to build deep learning models, using concepts such as transfer learning, generative adversarial networks, and deep reinforcement learning. Next, you'll learn the advanced features of TensorFlow1.x, such as distributed TensorFlow with TF clusters, deploy production models with TensorFlow Serving. You'll implement different techniques related to object classification, object detection, image segmentation, and more. By the end of this Learning Path, you'll have obtained in-depth knowledge of TensorFlow, making you the go-to person for solving artificial intelligence problems This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Mastering Machine Learning Algorithms by Giuseppe Bonaccorso • Mastering TensorFlow 1.x by Armando Fandango • Deep Learning for Computer Vision by Rajalingappaa Shanmugamani

LSTM network


When RNNs are trained over very long sequences of data, the gradients tend to become either very large or very small that they vanish to almost zero. Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks address the vanishing/exploding gradient problem by adding gates for controlling the access to past information. LSTM concept was first introduced by Hochreiter and Schmidhuber in 1997. 

Note

Read the following research paper on LSTM to get more information about origins of LSTM:

 

S. Hochreiter and J. Schmidhuber, Long Short-Term Memory, Neural Comput., vol. 9, no. 8, pp. 1735–1780, 1997. http://www.bioinf.jku.at/publications/older/2604.pdf

In RNN, a single neural network layer of repeatedly used learning function φ is used, whereas, in LSTM, a repeating module consisting of four main functions is used. The module that builds the LSTM network is called the cell. The LSTM cell helps train the model more effectively when long sequences are passed, by selectively learning or erasing information...
