Overview of this book

Deep Learning is revolutionizing a wide range of industries. For many applications, deep learning has proven to outperform humans by making faster and more accurate predictions. This book provides a top-down and bottom-up approach to demonstrate deep learning solutions to real-world problems in different areas. These applications include Computer Vision, Natural Language Processing, Time Series, and Robotics. The Python Deep Learning Cookbook presents technical solutions to the issues presented, along with a detailed explanation of the solutions. Furthermore, a discussion on corresponding pros and cons of implementing the proposed solution using one of the popular frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras and CNTK is provided. The book includes recipes that are related to the basic concepts of neural networks. All techniques s, as well as classical networks topologies. The main purpose of this book is to provide Python programmers a detailed list of recipes to apply deep learning to common and not-so-common scenarios.

Introduction

The focus of this chapter is to provide solutions to common implementation problems for FNN and other network topologies. The techniques discussed in this chapter also apply to the following chapters.

FNNs are networks where the information only moves in one direction and does not cycle (as we will see in Chapter 4, Recurrent Neural Networks). FNNs are mainly used for supervised learning where the data is not sequential or time-dependent, for example for general classification and regression tasks. We will start by introducing a perceptron and we will show how to implement a perceptron with NumPy. A perceptron demonstrates the mechanics of a single unit. Next, we will increase the complexity by increasing the number of units and introduce single-layer and multi-layer neural networks. The high number of units, in combination with a high number of layers, gives the depth of the architecture and is responsible for the name deep learning.
