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.

Learning to write as Shakespeare with RNNs

In this recipe, we will learn how to generate text similar to that written by William Shakespeare. The key idea is very simple: we take as input a real text written by Shakespeare and we give it as input to an RNN which will learn the sequences. This learning is then used to generate new text which looks like that written by the greatest writer in the English language.

For the sake of simplicity, we will use the framework TFLearn (http://tflearn.org/), which runs on top of TensorFlow. This example is part of the standard distribution and it is available at https://github.com/tflearn/tflearn/blob/master/examples/nlp/lstm_generator_shakespeare.py . The model developed one is an RNN character-level language model where the sequences considered are sequences of characters and not words.
