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.

Semi-supervised learning with Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)

With that in mind, semi-supervised learning is a technique in which both labeled and unlabeled data is used to train a classifier.

This type of classifier takes a tiny portion of labeled data and a much larger amount of unlabeled data (from the same domain). The goal is to combine these sources of data to train a Deep Convolution Neural Network (DCNN) to learn an inferred function capable of mapping a new datapoint to its desirable outcome.

In this frontier, we present a GAN model to classify street view house numbers using a very small labeled training set. In fact, the model uses roughly 1.3% of the original SVHN training labels i.e. 1000 (one thousand) labeled examples. We use some of the techniques described in the paper Improved Techniques for Training GANs from OpenAI (https://arxiv.org/abs/1606.03498...
