TensorFlow Deep Learning Projects

Overview of this book

TensorFlow is one of the most popular frameworks used for machine learning and, more recently, deep learning. It provides a fast and efficient framework for training different kinds of deep learning models, with very high accuracy. This book is your guide to master deep learning with TensorFlow with the help of 10 real-world projects. TensorFlow Deep Learning Projects starts with setting up the right TensorFlow environment for deep learning. You'll learn how to train different types of deep learning models using TensorFlow, including Convolutional Neural Networks, Recurrent Neural Networks, LSTMs, and Generative Adversarial Networks. While doing this, you will build end-to-end deep learning solutions to tackle different real-world problems in image processing, recommendation systems, stock prediction, and building chatbots, to name a few. You will also develop systems that perform machine translation and use reinforcement learning techniques to play games. By the end of this book, you will have mastered all the concepts of deep learning and their implementation with TensorFlow, and will be able to build and train your own deep learning models with TensorFlow confidently.

The input corpus

Unfortunately, we haven't found any consumer-oriented dataset that is open source and freely available on the Internet. Therefore, we will train the chatbot with a more generic dataset, not really focused on customer service. Specifically, we will use the Cornell Movie Dialogs Corpus, from the Cornell University. The corpus contains the collection of conversations extracted from raw movie scripts, therefore the chatbot will be able to give answer more to fictional questions than real ones. The Cornell corpus contains more than 200,000 conversational exchanges between 10+ thousands of movie characters, extracted from 617 movies.

The dataset is available here: https://www.cs.cornell.edu/~cristian/Cornell_Movie-Dialogs_Corpus.html.
We would like to thank the authors for having released the corpus: that makes experimentation, reproducibility and knowledge sharing...
