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.

Visual question answering

The task of visual question answering (VQA) is the task of answering an open-ended text question about a given image. VQA was proposed by Antol and its co-authors in 2015 (https://www.cv-foundation.org/openaccess/content_iccv_2015/papers/Antol_VQA_Visual_Question_ICCV_2015_paper.pdf). This task lies at the intersection of computer vision and natural language processing. It requires the understanding of the image and the parsing and understanding of the text question. Due to its multimodality nature and its well-defined quantitative evaluation metric, VQA is considered an important artificial intelligence task. It also has potential practical applications, including helping the visually impaired.

A few examples of the VQA task are illustrated in the following table:

Q: How many giraffes can be seen?

A: 2

Q: Is the bus door open?

A: Yes...
