Overview of this book

Deep Learning a trending topic in the field of Artificial Intelligence today and can be considered to be an advanced form of machine learning. This book will help you take your first steps in training efficient deep learning models and applying them in various practical scenarios. You will model, train, and deploy different kinds of neural networks such as CNN, RNN, and will see some of their applications in real-world domains including computer vision, natural language processing, speech recognition, and so on. You will build practical projects such as chatbots, implement reinforcement learning to build smart games, and develop expert systems for image captioning and processing using Python library such as TensorFlow. This book also covers solutions for different problems you might come across while training models, such as noisy datasets, and small datasets. By the end of this book, you will have a firm understanding of the basics of deep learning and neural network modeling, along with their practical applications.

Getting Yourself Ready for Deep Learning

Due to recent achievements of Artificial Neural Networks (ANNs) in different applications of artificial intelligence (AI), such as computer vision, natural language processing (NLP) and speech recognition, deep learning has emerged as the prominent technology fundamental to most real-world implementations. This chapter aims to be a starting point on how to set oneself up for experimenting with and applying deep learning techniques in the real world.

We will answer the key question as to what skills and concepts are needed to get started with deep learning. We will specifically answer following questions:

  • What skills are needed to understand and get started with deep learning?
  • What are the core concepts from linear algebra that are required for deep learning?
  • What hardware requirements exist for practical implementations of deep learning...
