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.

The need for multilayer networks

A multi-layer perceptron (MLP) contains one or more hidden layers (apart from one input and one output layer). While a single layer perceptron can learn only linear functions, a MLP can also learn non-linear functions.

Figure 7 shows MLP with a single hidden layer. Note that all connections have weights associated with them, but only three weights (w0, w1, and w2) are shown in the figure.

Input Layer: The Input layer has three nodes. The bias node has a value of 1. The other two nodes take X1 and X2 as external inputs (which are numerical values depending upon the input dataset). As discussed before, no computation, is performed in the Input Layer, so the outputs from nodes in the Input Layer are 1, X1, and X2 respectively, which are fed into the Hidden Layer.

Hidden Layer: The Hidden Layer also has three nodes, with the bias node having an output...
