Overview of this book

Neural networks are one of the most fascinating machine learning models for solving complex computational problems efficiently. Neural networks are used to solve wide range of problems in different areas of AI and machine learning. This book explains the niche aspects of neural networking and provides you with foundation to get started with advanced topics. The book begins with neural network design using the neural net package, then you’ll build a solid foundation knowledge of how a neural network learns from data, and the principles behind it. This book covers various types of neural network including recurrent neural networks and convoluted neural networks. You will not only learn how to train neural networks, but will also explore generalization of these networks. Later we will delve into combining different neural network models and work with the real-world use cases. By the end of this book, you will learn to implement neural network models in your applications with the help of practical examples in the book.

Introduction of DNNs


With the advent of big data processing infrastructure, GPU, and GP-GPU, we are now able to overcome the challenges with shallow neural networks, namely overfitting and vanishing gradient, using various activation functions and L1/L2 regularization techniques. Deep learning can work on large amounts of labeled and unlabeled data easily and efficiently.

As mentioned, deep learning is a class of machine learning wherein learning happens on multiple levels of neuron networks. The standard diagram depicting a DNN is shown in the following figure:

From the analysis of the previous figure, we can notice a remarkable analogy with the neural networks we have studied so far. We can then be quiet, unlike what it might look like, deep learning is simply an extension of the neural network. In this regard, most of what we have seen in the previous chapters is valid. In short, a DNN is a multilayer neural network that contains two or more hidden layers. Nothing very complicated here...
