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.

Bias-variance decomposition

In the previous section, we knew how to select the best hyperparameters for our model. This set of best hyperparameters was chosen based on the measure of minimizing the cross validated error. Now, we need to see how the model will perform over the unseen data, or the so-called out-of-sample data, which refers to new data samples that haven't been seen during the model training phase.

Consider the following example: we have a data sample of size 10,000, and we are going to train the same model with different train set sizes and plot the test error at each step. For example, we are going to take out 1,000 as a test set and use the other 9,000 for training. So for the first training round, we will randomly select a train set of size 100 out of those 9,000 items. We'll train the model based on the best selected set of hyperparameters, test the...
