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.

Implementing Fish Recognition

Convolutional autoencoder

The previous simple implementation did a good job while trying to reconstruct input images from the MNIST dataset, but we can get a better performance through a convolution layer in the encoder and the decoder parts of the autoencoder. The resulting network of this replacement is called convolutional autoencoder (CAE). This flexibility of being able to replace layers is a great advantage of autoencoders and makes them applicable to different domains.

The architecture that we'll be using for the CAE will contain upsampling layers in the decoder part of the network to get the reconstructed version of the image.

Dataset

In this implementation, we can use any kind of imaging dataset and see how...
