Deep Learning By Example

Overview of this book

Deep learning is a popular subset of machine learning, and it allows you to build complex models that are faster and give more accurate predictions. This book is your companion to take your first steps into the world of deep learning, with hands-on examples to boost your understanding of the topic. This book starts with a quick overview of the essential concepts of data science and machine learning which are required to get started with deep learning. It introduces you to Tensorflow, the most widely used machine learning library for training deep learning models. You will then work on your first deep learning problem by training a deep feed-forward neural network for digit classification, and move on to tackle other real-world problems in computer vision, language processing, sentiment analysis, and more. Advanced deep learning models such as generative adversarial networks and their applications are also covered in this book. By the end of this book, you will have a solid understanding of all the essential concepts in deep learning. With the help of the examples and code provided in this book, you will be equipped to train your own deep learning models with more confidence.

Examples of autoencoders

In this chapter, we will demonstrate some examples of different variations of autoencoders using the MNIST dataset. As a concrete example, suppose the inputs x are the pixel intensity values from a 28 x 28 image (784 pixels); so the number of input data samples is n=784. There are s2=392 hidden units in layer L2. And since the output will be of the same dimensions as the input data samples, y ∈ R784. The number of neurons in the input layer will be 784, followed by 392 neurons in the middle layer L2; so the network will be a lower representation, which is a compressed version of the output. The network will then feed this compressed lower representation of the input a(L2) ∈ R392 to the second part of the network, which will try hard to reconstruct the input pixels 784 from this compressed version.

Autoencoders rely on the fact that the input...
