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.

Running Distributed TensorFlow on Amazon AWS

Amazon AWS offers P2.x machine featuring NVIDIA K8 GPU. To be able to use, again the first step involves creating an Amazon AWS account. If you do not have one already, you can create it using the link: https://portal.aws.amazon.com/billing/signup?nc2=h_ct&redirect_url=https%3A%2F%2Faws.amazon.com%2Fregistration-confirmation#/start . Once you login into your account, your dashboard looks like this:

You can see that Amazon AWS provides a host of services, but here we are concerned with using Amazon AWS for Deep learning.

The GPUs are available only in P2 instance creation, and are not available by default, to get this service one has to raise a ticket for increasing resources via AWS support, the support is available in the top right corner, once you go to support, you will see a button Create case, choose the button and make following...
