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.

TensorFlow Processing Units

Google services such as Google Search (RankBrain), Street View, Google Photos, and Google Translate have one thing in common: they all use Google’s Tensor Processing Unit, or TPU, for their computations.

You might be thinking what is a TPU and what is so great about these services? All these services use state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms in the background, and these algorithms involve large computations. TPUs help to accelerate the neural network computations involved. Even AlphaGo, the deep learning program that defeated Lee Sedol in the game of Go, was powered by TPUs. So let us see what exactly a TPU is.

A TPU is a custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) built by Google specifically for machine learning and is tailored for Tensorflow. It is built on a 28-nm process, it runs at 700 MHz, and consumes 40 W of energy...
