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 chapter, we will discuss how Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) are used for deep learning in domains where maintaining a sequential order is important. Our attention will be mainly devoted to text analysis and natural language processing (NLP), but we will also see examples of sequences used to predict the value of Bitcoins.

Many real-time situations can be described by adopting a model based on temporal sequences. For instance, if you think about writing a document, the order of words is important and the current word certainly depends on the previous ones. If we still focus on text writing, it is clear that the next character in a word depends on the previous characters (for example, The quick brown f... there is a very high probability that the next letter will be the letter o), as illustrated in the following figure. The key idea is to produce a distribution...
