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.

Learning visibility

There are lots of great data science algorithms that one can use to solve problems in different domains, but the key component that makes the learning process visible is having enough data. You might ask how much data is needed for the learning process to be visible and worth doing. As a rule of thumb, researchers and machine learning practitioners agree that you need to have data samples at least 10 times the number of degrees of freedom in your model.

For example, in the case of linear models, the degree of freedom represents the number of features that you have in your dataset. If you have 50 explanatory features in your data, then you need at least 500 data samples/observations in your data.
