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.

Face generation

As we mentioned in the previous chapter, the Generator and Discriminator consist of a Deconvolutional Network (DNN: https://www.quora.com/How-does-a-deconvolutional-neural-network-work) and Convolutional Neural Network (CNN: http://cs231n.github.io/convolutional-networks/):

  • CNN is a a type of neural network that encodes hundreds of pixels of an image into a vector of small dimensions (z), which is a summary of the image
  • DNN is a network that learns some filters to recover the original image from z

Also, the discriminator will output one or zero to indicate whether the input image is from the actual dataset or generated by the generator. On the other side, the generator will try to replicate images similar to the original dataset based on the latent space z, which might follow a Gaussian distribution. So, the goal of the discriminator is to correctly discriminate...
