Deep Learning with Theano

Overview of this book

This book offers a complete overview of Deep Learning with Theano, a Python-based library that makes optimizing numerical expressions and deep learning models easy on CPU or GPU. The book provides some practical code examples that help the beginner understand how easy it is to build complex neural networks, while more experimented data scientists will appreciate the reach of the book, addressing supervised and unsupervised learning, generative models, reinforcement learning in the fields of image recognition, natural language processing, or game strategy. The book also discusses image recognition tasks that range from simple digit recognition, image classification, object localization, image segmentation, to image captioning. Natural language processing examples include text generation, chatbots, machine translation, and question answering. The last example deals with generating random data that looks real and solving games such as in the Open-AI gym. At the end, this book sums up the best -performing nets for each task. While early research results were based on deep stacks of neural layers, in particular, convolutional layers, the book presents the principles that improved the efficiency of these architectures, in order to help the reader build new custom nets.

Semi-supervised learning


Last but not least, such generative adversarial networks can be used to enhance supervised learning itself.

Suppose the objective is to classify K classes, for which an amount of labeled data is available. It is possible to add some generated samples to the dataset, which come from a generative model, and consider them as belonging to a (K+1)th class, the fake data class.

Decomposing the training cross-entropy loss of the new classifier between the two sets (real data and fake data) leads to the following formula:

Here, is the probability predicted by the model:

Note that if we know that the data is real:

And training on real data (K classes) would have led to the loss:

Hence the loss of the global classifier can be rewritten:

The second term of the loss corresponds to the standard unsupervised loss for GAN:

The interaction introduced between the supervised and the unsupervised loss is still not well understood but, when the classification is not trivial, an unsupervised...
