Overview of this book

Deep learning is the step that comes after machine learning, and has more advanced implementations. Machine learning is not just for academics anymore, but is becoming a mainstream practice through wide adoption, and deep learning has taken the front seat. As a data scientist, if you want to explore data abstraction layers, this book will be your guide. This book shows how this can be exploited in the real world with complex raw data using TensorFlow 1.x. Throughout the book, you’ll learn how to implement deep learning algorithms for machine learning systems and integrate them into your product offerings, including search, image recognition, and language processing. Additionally, you’ll learn how to analyze and improve the performance of deep learning models. This can be done by comparing algorithms against benchmarks, along with machine intelligence, to learn from the information and determine ideal behaviors within a specific context. After finishing the book, you will be familiar with machine learning techniques, in particular the use of TensorFlow for deep learning, and will be ready to apply your knowledge to research or commercial projects.

Convolutional autoencoders

Until now, we have seen that autoencoder inputs are images. So, it makes sense to ask whether a convolutional architecture can work better than the autoencoder architectures discussed previously.

We will analyze how the encoder and decoder work in convolutional autoencoders.

Encoder

The encoder consists of three convolutional layers. The number of features changes from 1, the input data, to 16 for the first convolutional layer, then from 16 to 32 for the second layer, and finally, from 32 to 64 for the final convolutional layer.

While transacting from one convolutional layer to another, the shape undergoes an image compression:
