TensorFlow 1.x Deep Learning Cookbook

Overview of this book

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have achieved a lot of success in the field of computer vision, speech recognition, and natural language processing. This exciting recipe-based guide will take you from the realm of DNN theory to implementing them practically to solve real-life problems in the artificial intelligence domain. In this book, you will learn how to efficiently use TensorFlow, Google’s open source framework for deep learning. You will implement different deep learning networks, such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs), Deep Q-learning Networks (DQNs), and Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), with easy-to-follow standalone recipes. You will learn how to use TensorFlow with Keras as the backend. You will learn how different DNNs perform on some popularly used datasets, such as MNIST, CIFAR-10, and Youtube8m. You will not only learn about the different mobile and embedded platforms supported by TensorFlow, but also how to set up cloud platforms for deep learning applications. You will also get a sneak peek at TPU architecture and how it will affect the future of DNNs. By using crisp, no-nonsense recipes, you will become an expert in implementing deep learning techniques in growing real-world applications and research areas such as reinforcement learning, GANs, and autoencoders.

Introduction

In this section, we will present a number of use cases for mobile deep learning. This is a very different situation from the desktop or cloud deep learning where GPUs and electricity are commonly available. In fact, on a mobile device, it is very important to preserve the battery and GPUs are frequently not available. However, deep learning can be very useful in a number of situations. Let's review them:

  • Image recognition: Modern phones have powerful cameras and users are keen to try effects on images and pictures. Frequently, it is also important to understand what is in the pictures, and there are multiple pre-trained models that can be adapted for this, as discussed in the chapters dedicated to CNNs. A good example of a model used for image recognition is given at https://github.com/TensorFlow/models/tree/master/official/resnet.
  • Object localization: Identifying...
