Hands-On Transfer Learning with Python

By: Dipanjan Sarkar, Raghav Bali, Tamoghna Ghosh

Overview of this book

Transfer learning is a machine learning (ML) technique where knowledge gained during training a set of problems can be used to solve other similar problems. The purpose of this book is two-fold; firstly, we focus on detailed coverage of deep learning (DL) and transfer learning, comparing and contrasting the two with easy-to-follow concepts and examples. The second area of focus is real-world examples and research problems using TensorFlow, Keras, and the Python ecosystem with hands-on examples. The book starts with the key essential concepts of ML and DL, followed by depiction and coverage of important DL architectures such as convolutional neural networks (CNNs), deep neural networks (DNNs), recurrent neural networks (RNNs), long short-term memory (LSTM), and capsule networks. Our focus then shifts to transfer learning concepts, such as model freezing, fine-tuning, pre-trained models including VGG, inception, ResNet, and how these systems perform better than DL models with practical examples. In the concluding chapters, we will focus on a multitude of real-world case studies and problems associated with areas such as computer vision, audio analysis and natural language processing (NLP). By the end of this book, you will be able to implement both DL and transfer learning principles in your own systems.

Evaluating our image captioning deep learning model

Training a model and not evaluating its performance makes no sense at all. Hence, we will now be evaluating our deep learning model's performance on the test dataset, which has a total of 1,000 different images from the Flickr8K dataset. We start off by loading up the usual dependencies in case you don't already have them:

import pandas as pd 
import numpy as np 
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt 
 
pd.options.display.max_colwidth = 500 

%matplotlib inline

Loading up data and models

The next steps include loading up the necessary data, model, and other assets from disk into memory. We first load up our test dataset and our trained deep learning models:
