Overview of this book

With an increasing interest in AI around the world, deep learning has attracted a great deal of public attention. Every day, deep learning algorithms are used broadly across different industries. The book will give you all the practical information available on the subject, including the best practices, using real-world use cases. You will learn to recognize and extract information to increase predictive accuracy and optimize results. Starting with a quick recap of important machine learning concepts, the book will delve straight into deep learning principles using Sci-kit learn. Moving ahead, you will learn to use the latest open source libraries such as Theano, Keras, Google's TensorFlow, and H20. Use this guide to uncover the difficulties of pattern recognition, scaling data with greater accuracy and discussing deep learning algorithms and techniques. Whether you want to dive deeper into Deep Learning, or want to investigate how to get more out of this powerful technology, you’ll find everything inside.

Summary

In the beginning of this chapter, we learned what RNNs are, how to train them, what problems might occur during training, and how to solve these problems. In the second part, we described the problem of language modeling and how RNNs help us solve some of the difficulties in modeling languages. The third section brought this information together in the form of a practical example on how to train a character-level language model to generate text based on Leo Tolstoy's War and Peace. The last section gave a brief overview of how deep learning, and especially RNNs, can be applied to the problem of speech recognition.

The RNNs discussed in this chapter are very powerful methods that have been very promising when it comes to a lot of tasks, such as language modeling and speech recognition. They are especially suited for modeling sequential problems where they could discover patterns over sequences.
