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

An intuitive introduction

In this section, we are going to introduce GANs in a very intuitive way. To get an idea of how GANs work, we will adopt a fake scenario of getting a ticket for a party.

The story starts with a very interesting party or event being held somewhere, and you are very interested in attending it. You hear about this event very late and all the tickets are sold out, but you will do anything to get into the party. So you come up with an idea! You will try to fake a ticket that needs to be exactly the same as the original one, or very, very similar to it. But because life is not easy, there's another challenge: you don't know what the original ticket looks like. So from your experience of going to such parties, you start to imagine what the ticket might look like and start to design the ticket based on your imagination.

You will try to design the ticket...
