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.

TensorFlow data types, variables, and placeholders

The understanding of computational graphs will help us to think of complex models in terms of small subgraphs and operations.

Let's look at an example of a neural network with only one hidden layer and what its computation graph might look like in TensorFlow:

So, we have some hidden layer that we are trying to compute, as the ReLU activation of some parameter matrix W time some input x plus a bias term b. The ReLU function takes the max of your output and zero.

The following diagram shows what the graph might look like in TensorFlow:

In this graph, we have variables for our b and W and we have something called a placeholder for x; we also have nodes for each of the operations in our graph. So, let's get into more detail about those node types.
