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 convolution operation

CNNs are widely used in the area of computer vision and they outperform most of the traditional computer vision techniques that we have been using. CNNs combine the famous convolution operation and neural networks, hence the name convolutional neural network. So, before diving into the neural network aspect of CNNs, we are going to introduce the convolution operation and see how it works.

The main purpose of the convolution operation is to extract information or features from an image. Any image could be considered as a matrix of values and a specific group of values in this matrix will form a feature. The purpose of the convolution operation is to scan this matrix and try to extract relevant or explanatory features for that image. For example, consider a 5 by 5 image whose corresponding intensity or pixel values are shown as zeros and ones:
