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.

Preface

Machine learning is concerned with algorithms that transform raw data into information into actionable intelligence. This fact makes machine learning well suited to the predictive analytics of big data. Without machine learning, therefore, it would be nearly impossible to keep up with these massive streams of information altogether. On the other hand, the deep learning is a branch of machine learning algorithms based on learning multiple levels of representation. Just in the last few years have been developed powerful deep learning algorithms to recognize images, natural language processing and perform a myriad of other complex tasks. A deep learning algorithm is nothing more than the implementation of a complex neural network so that it can learn through the analysis of large amounts of data. This book introduces the core concepts of deep learning using the latest version of TensorFlow. This is Google’s open-source framework for mathematical, machine learning and deep learning capabilities released in 2011. After that, TensorFlow has achieved wide adoption from academia and research to industry and following that recently the most stable version 1.0 has been released with a unified API. TensorFlow provides the flexibility needed to implement and research cutting-edge architectures while allowing users to focus on the structure of their models as opposed to mathematical details. Readers will learn deep learning programming techniques with the hands-on model building, data collection and transformation and even more!
