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.

Structure of a training program


The structure of a training program always consists of the following steps:

  1. Set the script environment: Such as package imports, the use of the GPU, and so on.

  2. Load data: A data loader class to access the data during training, usually in a random order to avoid too many similar examples of the same class, but sometimes in a precise order, for example, in the case of curriculum learning with simple examples first and complex ones last.

  3. Preprocess the data: A set of transformations, such as swapping dimensions on images, adding blur or noise. It is very common to add some data augmentation transformations, such as random crop, scale, brightness, or contrast jittering to get more examples than the original ones, and reduce the risk of overfitting on data. If the number of free parameters in the model is too important with respect to the training dataset size, the model might learn from the available examples. Also, if the dataset is too small and too many iterations...
