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.

Image captioning

With the advanced progress in both computer vision and NLP areas, more and more researchers are starting to look at potential applications in their intersect areas.

One type of application is called image captioning, or im2text, which is for automatically generating descriptions for a given image. It requires the joint use of technologies in both computer vision and NLP. For a given image, the goal is to analyze its visual content and generate a realistic textual description to describe the major content or most salient aspect of the image. For example, the human in a picture.

To achieve this goal, the caption generation model has to have at least two capabilities:

  • Understand the visual cues
  • Be able to generate realistic natural language

Understanding the visual cues can be very task-specific; that is, the focus can be different in different scenarios. This...
