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.

Summary

In this chapter, we covered the installation process for Ubuntu and Mac, gave an overview of the TensorFlow programming model, and explained the different types of simple nodes that could be used for building complex operations and how to get output from TensorFlow using a session object. Also, we covered TensorBoard and why it will helpful for debugging and analyzing complex deep learning applications.

Next, we will go through a basic explanation of neural networks and the intuition behind having multilayer neural networks. We will also cover some basic examples of TensorFlow and demonstrate how it could be used for regression and classification problems.
