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 in Action - Some Basic Examples

,In this chapter, we will explain the main computational concept behind TensorFlow, which is the computational graph model, and demonstrate how to get you on track by implementing linear regression and logistic regression.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Capacity of a single neuron and activation functions
  • Activation functions
  • Feed-forward neural network
  • The need for a multilayer network
  • TensorFlow terminologies—recap
  • Linear regression model—building and training
  • Logistic regression model—building and training

We will start by explaining what a single neuron can actually do/model, and based on this, the need for a multilayer network will arise. Next up, we will do more elaboration of the main concepts and tools that are used/available within TensorFlow and how to use these tools to build up...
